After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks demolished the Kings 123-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Kings' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
