After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks fended off the Nets 105-97. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
