After Action Report
The Kings buried the Hawks 129-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
