After Action Report

The Hawks ran roughshod over the Nets 142-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
