After Action Report

In New York, the Hawks survived the Knicks 121-118. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
