After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks squeaked past the 76ers 88-83. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
