After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Rockets 130-129. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
