Atlanta Hawks vs. Sacramento Kings Game Day Preview
The second stop of the Atlanta Hawks' west coast road trip leads them to the Golden 1 Center to play the Sacramento Kings - a completely opposite team. Sacramento has one of the top offenses in the league, they are overachieving, and fans are buying into the upstart squad.
Meanwhile, Atlanta is one of the worst offenses in the league, the front office is in turmoil, and the fans are quitting. The only connection these two squads share is Kevin Huerter, the former Hawks first-round pick whose trade symbolizes all that is wrong with Atlanta's ownership. Atlanta defeated Sacramento in Huerter's emotional return to State Farm Arena on November 23. Since then, Sacramento has played just over .500 ball, and Atlanta has lost nine of 15 games.
Atlanta's double-overtime loss to Golden State on Monday and Sacramento's narrow victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday highlight the opposite direction the two teams are traveling in. A fifth straight loss could be what convinces Hawks coach Nate McMillan to resign.

Good, hard earned win against a solid Kings team (who played just last night).
It was noticeable that Hawks focused less on Trae and let DM, Bogdan and Hunter take the lead on offense tonight.

Hawks with the defense to seal the win.
Steal by DJ, Block by OO and secured the rebound.

Damn, I miss this kid.
He'd have been great in Kenny Atkinson's system.

I'm not totally sure if it's the case, but I would bet it's the first game they share the ball and shots almost perfectly, like they should try to do in all games!
Multiplying the threat make the job easier for everyone of them because the defense can't focus on two guards only
