After Action Report

The Hawks ran roughshod over the Knicks 109-75. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
