After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Nets 103-94. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
