After Action Report
The Hawks shocked the Kings 131-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
