After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings blew the doors off the Hawks 133-98. Kings torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
