After Action Report

The Hawks snuck past the Warriors 105-104. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
