After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Pacers 118-101. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
