After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Spurs survived the Hawks 102-98. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
