After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings buried the Hawks 106-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
