After Action Report
The Warriors blew the doors off the Hawks 135-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
