After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Knicks 117-115. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
