After Action Report

The Hawks squeaked past the 76ers 121-117. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Hawks; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
