After Action Report
In Atlanta, the 76ers edged the Hawks 98-90. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. 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.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
