After Action Report

In a track meet, the Hawks demolished the Kings 135-107. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
