After Action Report

The Hawks ran roughshod over the Kings 114-83. The Hawks' lockdown unit choked off Kings' offense. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
