After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Rockets fended off the Hawks 115-109. Rockets torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
