Report card

Offense: B-minus

The Hawks had two 30-point quarters. They shot 50 percent from the field (44 of 88). They hit some timely 3-pointers that were key. With the game close, the Hawks went on a 9-0 run. The Hawks were limited at the free-throw line. When the Rockets’ switched on the pick-and-roll, the Hawks were able to take advantage of the mismatches most of the time. The offense committed nine second-quarter turnovers that led to 17 points.

Defense: B

The Hawks allowed just 16 first-quarter points and 14 fourth-quarter points. That’s good. They allowed 42 second-quarter points. That’s bad. That allowed the Rockets to get back in a game they trailed by 14 points in the first quarter. James Harden did score 25 points but it came on 17 shots. Dwight Howard finished with just eight points.
