After Action Report

The Hawks rolled past the Grizzlies 130-97. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
