After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks buried the Pacers 131-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
