After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hornets snuck past the Hawks 75-74. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. The Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
