After Action Report

The Hawks ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 127-101. The Grizzlies had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
