After Action Report
The Hawks held off the Lakers 106-97. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
