After Action Report
The Hawks knocked off the Hornets 125-117. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
