After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Hawks outlasted the Nets 90-82. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
