After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Kings 95-82. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
