After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Nets buried the Hawks 126-94. Nets' offense had its way with the Hawks. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
