After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Warriors 116-115. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
