After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings fended off the Hawks 105-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
