After Action Report

The Hawks snuck past the 76ers 98-94. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks steamroller is in full effect right now. 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.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
