After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Hawks 107-103. Spurs torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · 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 · 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.
