The Atlanta Hawks continued their winning ways last night with a 106-95 win over the Sacramento Kings. The best word to use in order to describe this game would be “weird.”

It wasn’t necessarily a pretty win for the Hawks in that there were plenty of sloppy plays throughout the 48 minutes. Taking that into consideration on top of the refs blowing the whistle in what seemed to be every trip down the floor made for this game to stretch on much longer than it had to be.

Nevertheless, a win is a win and it brings the Hawks to a 3-0 record on the season. All three games have been against inferior teams, but taking care of business and winning games you are supposed to win are all characteristics of a top team.

What are some takeaways from last night’s win? Let’s take a look at a handful.
