After Action Report

The Hawks buried the Kings 138-106. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
