After Action Report

The Nets survived the Hawks 98-94. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
