After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks pulled away from the Nets 105-88. Hawks torched the Nets on the offensive end. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

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.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
