After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks fended off the Suns 116-109. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
