After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Pacers 109-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
