After Action Report
The Hawks downed the Nets 116-98. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
