After Action Report

The Hawks outlasted the 76ers 124-118. Hawks' positional fit overwhelmed the 76ers rotation. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
