After Action Report
The Hawks demolished the Hornets 117-95. Hawks' offense had its way with the Hornets. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
