After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Mavericks 96-88. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
