After Action Report
The Kings downed the Hawks 96-83. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
