After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Pacers 105-96. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. 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. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- 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.
