After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks pulled away from the Kings 108-97. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
