After Action Report

In Golden State, the Hawks rolled past the Warriors 126-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
