After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Kings knocked off the Hawks 113-107. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
