Social media exchanges between NBA teams are usually awesome.
The one shared between the Atlanta Hawks and Sacramento Kings on Thursday night was no exception.
It was the Hawks who, seemingly by accident, got things started:

Soon after, the Kings slid into their mentions:

Atlanta fired right back:
@SacramentoKings We tweeted, actually.

There you have it.
Pointless?

Awesome?
Absolutely.
Such is life on NBA Twitter: ridiculously amazing, albeit sometimes devoid of any profound meaning.
