Hawks and Kings Have Awesome, Emoji-Laden Twitter Exchange

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:

@ATLHawks you called?

— Sacramento Kings (@SacramentoKings) March 11, 2016

Atlanta fired right back:

@SacramentoKings We tweeted, actually.

— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) March 11, 2016

Sacramento was not to be outdone:

@ATLHawks ?

— Sacramento Kings (@SacramentoKings) March 11, 2016

But the Hawks weren’t ready to quit:

Turns out the Kings weren’t ready to power down the Twitter machine, either:

There you have it.

Pointless?

Perhaps.

Awesome?

Absolutely.

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