After Action Report
The Kings took care of the Hawks 113-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' 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
- Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Kings · 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.
