On the day the NBA reminded its teams to play nice on Twitter, the Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks chose to spread love, not war, in the Twitterverse. 

A memo from NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum urged teams to "properly and extensively train" social-media staff members to ensure they know what's appropriate following some less than friendly exchanges between teams and players.  On Friday, the Kings and Hawks chose kindness in setting the bar quite high.
