After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Jazz 103-86. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
