After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Kings took care of the Hawks 122-105. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
