After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks outlasted the Rockets 100-87. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Shots just aren't falling for the Hawks lately; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
