After Action Report
The Kings held off the Hawks 107-98. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
