After Action Report

The Hawks held off the 76ers 94-85. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
