After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Kings 104-101. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
