After Action Report

The Hornets survived the Hawks 131-130 in overtime. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

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.
