After Action Report

In Atlanta, the 76ers blew the doors off the Hawks 131-106. 76ers' offense had its way with the Hawks. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
