After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Kings 108-90. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
