After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings outlasted the Hawks 115-101. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
