After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks blew the doors off the Kings 106-83. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks are in a full-on tailspin. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
