After Action Report

The Hawks survived the Lakers 112-110. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 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. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
