After Action Report
The Kings edged the Hawks 99-91. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
