After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks survived the Kings 104-99. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
