Hawks fourth quarter defense, Siakam blunder, leads to victory

The Hawks executed in the fourth quarter when it mattered most, while a costly mistake from the Pacers sealed the deal.

The Atlanta Hawks secured back-to-back victories against the Indiana Pacers as they claimed victory in the rematch of Thursday’s game, 120-118, on Saturday night. Trae Young led all scorers with 36 points, while Caris LeVert added 26 points. For the Pacers, Bennedict Mathurin scored 30 points, and Pascal Siakam added 23 points for the visitors.

For the second successive game, Tyrese Haliburton was absent for the Pacers, which meant that this was likely to be another affair between the two sides that would be difficult to call favorite. When the game tipped off, it was the Hawks who established themselves in very convincing fashion, racing out to a 15-5 intro before outscoring Indiana 39-19 in the first quarter, with Young starring with an extremely efficient first quarter.

The Pacers reined in the lead in the second quarter but the Hawks ended the half on a positive note, taking a 15 point lead into the locker room. The Hawks initially pushed this lead back to 18 points but the Pacers again began to cut into the lead, reducing the gap to single digits and outscored the hosts 36-26. In the fourth quarter, the Pacers continued to press their second half advantage, having found a way to finally limit the Hawks inside, and would re-take the lead in the fourth quarter.

With the momentum firmly on Indiana’s side and the Hawks seemingly reeling, how did they manage to wrestle back the initiative in this game and secure victory?

Let’s take a look.

With just under five minutes remaining in the game and tied at 109 apiece, the Pacers attack through Mathurin, but his drive is disrupted by Onyeka Okongwu who gets his hands in for the steal. Young then leads the 2-on-1 break, with LeVert streaking ahead of him, and Young finds him to give the Hawks the lead again:

After an Aaron Nesmith basket to tie the game, the Hawks are quick to re-take the lead again as Young drives inside and hoists a runner high off glass which drops in, with Young expecting a foul call:

The Pacers attempt to make an immediate reply, but Mathurin’s drive is contested by Georges Niang, and the Hawks run in transition, with Young and LeVert again linking up, this time for an alley-oop, giving the Hawks a four point lead and an Indiana timeout:

This worked out beautifully for Atlanta; Young is clearly gassed by this point — fighting a quad contusion injury — and was beaten easily by Mathurin’s drive and looked tired when delivering the pass to LeVert but the quick Atlanta burst burns an Indiana timeout, giving Young and the Hawks a moment’s respite.

After which, the Hawks’ defense is what sustains them through this next stint. Out of the timeout, good defense from the Hawks keeps the Pacers on the perimeter, and Nesmith’s shot is missed:

Niang showed a great switch here to prevent Nembhard turning the corner, and Dyson Daniels does really well to cover for Niang’s assignment of Myles Turner to prevent the pass inside.

After a missed three from Young, the Hawks’ defense again comes through for them as they shift on the perimeter before the drive from Turner is disrupted by Okongwu’s dig to knock the ball loose and another hand from LeVert helps deflect the ball off Turner and out of bounds to the Hawks:

The Hawks are unable to break through offensively (Niang misses a three after a great pass from Young) and have to rely on their defense once again. Daniels is taken out of the equation as Nembhard gets a good screen from Nesmith.

However, Daniels continues to tail Nembhard and leaves Nesmith wide open on the perimeter, and when Nembhard kicks the ball back out Daniels is way behind. Nevertheless, he covers the ground and prevents the straightaway three, and even when he’s faked off balance, he still manages to recover and get a good contest on Nesmith’s three which is missed:

This was a very impressive recovery from Daniels to get this final contest up after having to cover/recover ground.

When the Pacers finally get a basket — a last second shot from Nembhard — the Hawks are quick to restore their four point lead, as Young receives the hand-off from Okongwu — who slips inside — and returns the ball to his big as the Pacers fail to cover his roll, and Okongwu finishes at the rim:

Nembhard makes another reply to cut the lead to two points, and the Hawks this time cannot reply as they get two chances to do so: first through a missed layup at the rim from LeVert, and then a Young three after Okongwu’s rebound buys the Hawks a second opportunity:

This was a bad shot from Young in this spot with time still on the clock, now the Pacers have a chance to tie or take the lead with under 30 seconds left. Young would commit another infraction, as he fouls Turner on the other end and send him to the line where he can tie the game:

The Hawks catch a break as Turner splits the free throws and the Hawks still hold a one-point lead and the Pacers forced to foul. Young dispatches all free throws to give the Hawks a three-point lead, and needing a three to tie the game Siakam drives straight to the hoop for a two, much to his team’s disbelief.

The Hawks ice the game as Young hits the first free throw and, with 0.5 seconds remaining, misses the second free throw with an high-looping free throw (that just about hits the rim) to end the game and give the Hawks a 120-118 victory.

It was an odd ending to the game, and Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle could only guess as to what Siakam had thought was the game scenario.

“He must have thought there was more time,” said Carlisle postgame. “You could tell when he lay the ball in he knew it was a mistake.”

“I was very surprised,” added Young of Siakam’s blunder. “I’ve known him for a while, I see him in the summer time. He’s a very smart player, I feel like that wasn’t a smart play. He knows that now looking back at it. He’s a hell of a player, he just made a weird mistake at the end of the game. He’s a great player, smart player, he’s one of my good friends.”

For the game itself, the Hawks played a great first quarter and strong first half in which they scored 69 on 60% shooting but struggled in the second half, scoring 51 points on 32% shooting from the field.

“You guys know what NBA games are like,” opened Hawks head coach Snyder. “It used to be when you were up 20 in the second quarter and you lost the game people would think you choked. But teams can score and they’re a good team. They picked it up physically, we got stagnant on the offensive end but I liked how we responded...”

While the second half paints a different picture, when you look at the miscellaneous stats the Hawks were strong across the board: 58 points in the paint, 20 fastbreak points, 20 points off of turnovers, and 23 second chance points. Those 23 second chance points were converted thanks to 16 offensive rebounds, eight of them coming from Onyeka Okongwu, who was everywhere last night: 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field, 16 rebounds, two assists, three steals, and three blocks. He was a force on both ends of the floor, and every Hawk who spoke postgame spoke of Okongwu.

Snyder was asked initially about Caris LeVert (who we’ll discuss later) and felt the urge to praise Okongwu before discussing LeVert, praising Okongwu’s plays in the clutch.

“The best player we had tonight in the clutch was Onyeka,” said Snyder. “He got every rebound, he made every play. Sometimes those plays aren’t as noticeable as someone who makes a bucket.”

“O is super versatile, he does it on both ends of the floor,” added LeVert. “He’s super strong in there, you saw late game he got huge rebounds. He’s got great touch. I was on him before the game that he doesn’t have a left hand, but he’s got both hands around the rim. He’s showing the three-point touch as well and he’s talking more defensively, that’s what we need from him out there on that end of the floor. He’s been great for us.”

Okongwu, as ever in his postgame availability, gave a brief account of his game.

“I’m always trying to crash the glass, keep plays alive, get as any possessions as possible,” said Okongwu.

Okongwu is not one to give long or detailed quotes and he certainly understates his impact in this game — rebounding, steals, deflections, blocks, pick-and-roll...it was hard not to notice Okongwu whenever he was on the court.

A similar sentiment could be echoed when it came to Caris LeVert, who was a force himself off the bench scoring 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field and 4-of-7 from three. LeVert, like Young, is able to blend high-scoring on some nights and playmaking on another night — last night it was the scoring effort the Hawks needed. When the time called for it, LeVert can call upon this scoring ability.

“Caris, he’s got the ability to create his own shot,” said Snyder of LeVert. “One of the things he’s been doing a really good job of is creating an opportunity and then finding other people as well. When he’s able to draw defenders like that it’s what allows someone like Onyeka to get on the glass. Extra possessions late in the game are huge.”

LeVert relishes the opportunity, no matter what end of the floor he’s able to make an impact on.

“Really it’s just doing whatever it takes to win, whether that be defensively, blocking a shot, getting a rebound, getting a loose ball, making a shot,” said LeVert. “I’m just not scared of those moments, and I’ve been in a lot of them and I think I really relish in those moments.”

LeVert has been a major positive for the Hawks since joining the Hawks in February, his ability to break defenses down off the drive opens up opportunities for himself and his teammates, and LeVert praised his new teammates and coach in thriving in his new home.

“My teammates and coach are doing a great job putting me in position to be successful and playing to my strengths,” said LeVert. “Trae’s been amazing. First couple of games he was passing and going into tonight’s game he knew we needed a scoring punch, and he’s one of those special players who can do that on any given night, he can turn it on whether it’s scoring or passing. He’s been great to play with, and it seems like we’ve played together for longer than we have, it’s only been a few weeks to put it in perspective. He’s one of the best point guards I’ve played with, for sure.”

Dyson Daniels registered another five steals, with Trae Young praising his efforts in addition to LeVert’s and Okongwu’s.

“We didn’t get stops the way we wanted to, but offensively we got to where we wanted to be and the spacing was great,” said Young. “Caris had an unbelievable game again, everybody was playing aggressive. Big O was rebounding, playing defense, getting some buckets on the other end. It was good seeing Dyson do what he does, defensive player of the year. It was great, everyone contributed to this win tonight.”

Young himself played well in this game, scoring 36 points on 11-of-24 from the field, 3-of-12 from three and 11-of-12 from the free throw line — the first half in particular he was fantastic, scoring 26 points on 9-of-13 shooting. In the second half, Young and the Hawks were slowed significantly but even in these struggles and difficult shots in the fourth quarter Young was ever reliable at the free throw line to secure the victory.

Young also had a second half injury to contend with, a quad contusion suffered in the third quarter:

Postgame, Young was unhappy with the nature of how this took place, believing that he deserved a foul call.

“It’s frustrating,” said Young. “It’s one basketball out there and three guys looking at the basketball and don’t see a guy picking up fullcourt. You can’t stay in front of me without fouling in fullcourt one-on-one. It’s an obvious play, another turnover on me, it’s all good, we won.”

Young has often been at odds with officials in his postgame comments and takes another dig here. It was something even postgame he was still unhappy with as he alluded when asked about getting back on the court in the second half.

“We did so many stretches, different movements to see how I felt and if I wanted to go out there and give it a go,” said Young. “They (the Hawks training staff) weren’t pressuring me to do anything but I was more frustrated that I was even in that situation and didn’t get a foul, so I wanted to go out there and at least get the win.”

“The game got really physical,” added Snyder. “Terance took a shot in the neck — those things are going to happen as far as Trae’s case because he’s aggressive offensively and he draws fouls, and there’s going to be contact. I don’t want to diminish his size but I think it’s even more noteworthy that he’s able to play through contact like that when he’s not 240 pounds.”

Prior to the game, it was a toss up between the two sides. The first half saw a dominant display from the Hawks, and the second half the Pacers were comfortably the better side — it did just about even out in the end. When the game was tied in the fourth quarter, it was the Hawks who executed on both ends — they scored those quick four points to take the 115-111 lead and from the subsequent timeout the Hawks’ defense was strong and though their offense slowed down, the defense ultimately got this job done.

Right now, the win moves the Hawks into the seventh seed ahead of the Orlando Magic, with two games in April to come, including the final game of the regular season.

Three observations on the post trade deadline Atlanta Hawks

Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images

A few musings on Atlanta’s recent play.

With five weeks left in the 2024-25 regular season, the Atlanta Hawks are 30-34, with the team holding a slender, half-game edge over both Miami and Orlando for the 7-seed in the Eastern Conference standings and sitting five games behind Detroit, who currently* hold the 6-seed.

*as of Sunday afternoon

Yet, while postseason basketball is all but guaranteed for Atlanta*, I don’t believe the goal over their next 18 games should merely be to secure a shot at the 7-seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

*Philadelphia, the 11-seed, have lost nine of their last ten games and sit eight games behind Atlanta in the Eastern Conference standings.

Though Detroit’s five-game lead on Atlanta is nothing to scoff at, the Hawks face the league’s third-easiest remaining schedule, while Detroit’s remaining schedule ranks 16th. If a couple of results go their way, who’s to say that the Hawks can’t make things interesting over the final few weeks of the regular season?

This team has played some better basketball as of late, with new additions Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and Terance Mann looking increasingly more comfortable in their new surroundings, and their favorable remaining schedule gives them a golden opportunity to heat up in time for the postseason.

If the Hawks do manage to claw themselves into the 6-seed, not only will they skip out on the Play-In tournament entirely and earn a few more days of rest (i.e. some extra time to scout, as far as the coaching staff/scouting department is concerned) before the Playoffs begin, but they will also have a much better chance of pulling off a first-round upset by avoiding a matchup against Cleveland or Boston — two teams that rank second and third in net-rating respectively, this season and are likely to occupy the top-two spots in the East by the end of the regular season.

While Atlanta finishing sixth, seventh or eighth, is not going to have a drastic impact on their Finals odds for this season (sorry, but the Hawks are not going to win it all this year), for a relatively young team that is still building chemistry and discovering the scope of their abilities, playing in a competitive first-round series is something that could be really beneficial towards their long-term development together. And given that Cleveland and Boston are simply on a different level than the other team’s in the East this season, I don’t know how competitive a potential series against one of them would be.

Of course, the Playoffs are about playing the hand that you’re dealt, and for a team like the Hawks, any postseason experience is good experience. But still, I’d prefer to put off a matchup against one of the Eastern Conference’s juggernaut’s for as long as possible. It seems like their best chance of doing that is by stealing the 6-seed from Detroit.

Now, without further ado, here are a few observations and interesting statistics on the post-trade deadline Atlanta Hawks!

---

Finding Their Shooting Touch​

Prior to the trade deadline, the Hawks were shooting just 34.6% from three-point range, a bottom-six mark in the league, however in the 13 games since, their three-point percentage has jumped up to 37.3%, ninth in the league over that span and a mark that would rank sixth on the season.

#’s from nba.com/stats

Looking at the individual players’ three-point numbers above, you can see that while Trae Young’s efficiency is down, his teammates have picked up the slack over the past few weeks.

Georges Niang is shooting 40.5% on 7.2 attempts per game, Caris LeVert is shooting 34.8% on 5.5 attempts per game, Zaccharie Risacher is shooting 47.3% on 4.2 attempts per game, and Terance Mann is shooting 48.6% on 2.9 attempts per game. Even Dyson Daniels, whose outside shot is still a work in progress, has shot 12-for-23 (52.2%) from beyond the arc over this stretch. Everyone is eating.

As we discussed a few weeks ago, the Hawks (led by Trae Young) have been generating high-quality three-point looks all season long — ranking sixth in “wide-open” three-point attempts per game this season. Yet, while they ranked just 27th in “wide-open” three-point accuracy (36.9%) prior to the trade deadline, they’ve ranked first (!!) in this category since then, shooting a blistering 45.1% on their “wide-open” threes while generating the same number of attempts per game.

Atlanta’s improved efficiency from the outside has been a major factor in their offensive rating soaring from 110.7 (23rd) to 116.9 (10th) since the trade deadline, and it’s been refreshing seeing them knock down their open looks at such an efficient clip.

Now, if Trae Young’s pull-up threes begin to fall, this offense is going to be downright scary.

---

Taking Care of the Basketball​

While Atlanta’s improved three-point shooting has undoubtedly had a positive impact on their offensive rating, something else that’s been a welcome sight for their offense has been the improvement in ball security, with Atlanta committing 13.8 turnovers per game (16th) since the All-Star break after committing 16.2 turnovers per game (28th) prior to it.

#’s from pbpstats.com

#’s from pbpstats.com

Looking at the two tables above, you can see that while Young’s turnover rate has held steady, new additions Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, and Terance Mann, have all been far less mistake-prone than De’Andre Hunter, Jalen Johnson and Bogdan Bogdanovic, the players who they effectively replaced in Atlanta’s rotation.

Additionally, although 2.4 fewer turnovers per game may sound like a trivial amount, this improvement has helped Atlanta improve from 28th to 12th in opponent points off turnovers (per game), with the Hawks giving up 20.4 points off turnovers per game prior to the trade deadline relative to 16.4 points off of turnovers since then.

Per cleaningtheglass (CTG), Atlanta’s half-court defense has been slightly worse, they’ve fouled more, and they have continued to get obliterated by their opponent’s from the perimeter over their past 13 games, resulting in a higher (worse) defensive rating for the team since the deadline*.

*Atlanta’s ranked 16th in defensive rating (113.7) prior to the All-Star Break, and have ranked 22nd in defensive rating (117.3) since then.

However, given that the league-average transition possession (1.25 points per possession (PPP), per CTG) is far more efficient than the league-average halfcourt possession (0.98 PPP), turning the ball over less and conceding fewer transition opportunities to the opposition can only mean good things for the Hawks’ defense.

Controlling their turnover rate and forcing their opponents to play in the halfcourt as often as possible will be important areas to watch the rest of the way.

---

Okay, Onyeka!​

Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to highlight the recent play of Onyeka Okongwu.

After serving as Clint Capela’s primary backup for the first four and a half seasons of his career, the Hawks finally elevated Okongwu into the starting lineup back on January 20th. While it took him a few games to get comfortable in his new role, since February 1st, he’s been absolutely fantastic, averaging 15.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.1 ‘stocks’*, and only 2.6 fouls (!) per game, playing nearly 31 minutes a night.

*Steals + Blocks

While Okongwu’s playmaking prowess has been a welcome addition to the starting five, and his emerging chemistry with both Trae Young and Dyson Daniels has been really fun to watch, what’s really stood out has been his scoring touch around the basket.

Per pbpstats, since the beginning of February, Okongwu is shooting a blistering 75.6% at the rim on 5.5 attempts per game. Only seven players have made more field goals at the rim than him over this stretch, and Okongwu has a better rim field goal percentage than all but three of them (Evan Mobley, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Christian Braun).

While Trae Young deserves some credit for gifting Okongwu a few more looks like the one on the possession below, it’s notable that Clint Capela was shooting just 63.2% at the rim while serving as the starting center, so it’s clear that Okongwu has been the more efficient interior scorer of the two.

Additionally, Okongwu has shot a ridiculous 59.5% from floater range (on 2.8 attempts per game) over this stretch, which ranks fifth (!!) out of the 152 players who have attempted at least two floaters a game since February 1st, per pbpstats, and his ability to reliably knock down shots like he does on the possession has been a big differentiator between him and Capela as well.

Still, while Okongwu’s efficiency as a scorer has popped in recent weeks, it’s the “other stuff” that impresses head coach Quin Snyder.

He racked up 16 points, 16 rebounds, three blocks, three steals and held his own in the paint down the stretch in Atlanta’s two-point victory over the Pacers on Saturday night, and after the game, Snyder singled him out as the team’s best clutch player in the contest:

“I think the best player we had tonight in the clutch was Onyeka. He got every rebound, made every play, and sometimes those plays aren’t as noticeable as someone who makes a bucket.”

Okongwu still has room to grow, particularly in his ability to defend the rim with opponent’s shooting 68.4% at the rim when he is on the floor per cleaningtheglass, a mark which ranks in just the 25th percentile relative to other players this season, however the progress he’s shown over the past five weeks has been wonderful to see.

If he can sustain this level of play going forwards, the four-year, $62 million extension he signed prior to last season is going to look like a steal. Let’s hope he continues to progress in the right direction.

Hawks win third in row, defeat 76ers 132-123

Dale Zanine-Imagn Images

Is it a winning streak?

The Atlanta Hawks continued their six-game home stand tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers with major playoff implications on the line. Atlanta ultimately defeated Philadelphia 132-123 for its third consecutive win.

The Hawks started the game in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings as they came in a game in a half in front of both the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat.

The Hawks were without Trae Young (left calf contusion) and Caris LeVert (sprained left middle finger), however they did get Vit Krejci (lumbar fracture) back from injury after missing the last 10 games.

The Hawks dominated the game as they were in complete control almost the entire game. The 76ers struggled to find a rhythm as they were missing several key players, but the Hawks were able to take advantage of it.

The Hawks outscored the 76ers 66-57 in the first half while also outrebounding them 27-15. The Hawks also controlled the scoring inside the paint with 44 points compared to 28 points by the 76ers.

The Hawks led by as many as 16 points as they had four players in double-digits by halftime.

Zaccharie Risacher was very efficient and effective in the first half as he scored 17 points on 7-for-9 from the field while also grabbing six rebounds. He finished the game with 22 points and showed why he was the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

Onyeka Okongwu continues to play big for the Hawks. Since February 1, Okongwu has averaged 14.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game while shooting 62% on his threes. He is one of three centers averaging 14-and-9 on 60% shooting since January 20. He also had a great first half tonight with 10 points and five rebounds. He finished with 15 points overall.

Dyson Daniels continued his double-digit scoring streak — now 17 games — as he finished with 25 points. Mouhamed Gueye added 14 points and seven rebounds while Georges Niang scored 10 points. Terance Mann contributed 19 points from off the bench.

Trae Young named Eastern Conference Player of the Week

Photo by Adam Hagy/NBAE via Getty Images

He’s extremely good at basketball.

For the ninth time in his career, Trae Young has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month alongside MVP front runner Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who won the same award in the opposite conference.

Trae Young was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for March 3-9.

— Brad Rowland (@btrowland.bsky.social) 2025-03-10T19:31:12.411Z

Young averaged north of 24 points and 13 assists in the week, and his only free throw miss was an intentional miss with 0.5 seconds remaining to seal the latest win over the Indiana Pacers. The Hawks finished 3-1 over the past week, and have climbed to the seven seed in the Eastern Conference.

The official press release from the Atlanta Hawks:

ATLANTA – Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for games played March 3 through March 9, the NBA announced today. The four-time All-Star earns his second weekly honor of the season (Feb. 10) and the ninth of his career.

In four games played during the week, Young averaged 24.5 points, a league-best 13.0 assists, in addition to 2.8 rebounds in 35.1 minutes of action. He was the only player in the East, and one of only three in the NBA, to average 20-or-more points and 10-or-more assists this past week (min. 3 GP). Young led the Hawks to a 3-1 record, despite facing off against three teams currently ranked top 5 in their respective conferences: Memphis (March 3, 4th in West), Milwaukee (March 4, 4th in East), Indiana (March 6 and March 8, 5th in East).

Young handed out an NBA-best 52 total assists during the week, 14 more than the next closest player in the league (James Harden: 38 assists, 4 GP) and 23 more than the next closest Eastern Conference player (Cade Cunningham: 29 assists, 4 GP). He also owned three of the top 5 highest assisted games this past week by an Eastern Conference player: 16 vs. Indiana (March 6, 1st), 15 at Memphis (t2nd) and 13 vs. Milwaukee (5th).

The Oklahoma product secured three straight point/assist double-doubles, including back-to-back 20-point, 10-assist outings this past week. In the NBA this season, Young owns a league-leading 38 point/assist double-doubles, including a conference-best 26 games with at least 20 points and 10 helpers. The 6-1 guard, who dished out 15+ assists twice this past week (March 3, March 6), leads the league in 15-assist performances this season (14) and owns the most in a single season in franchise history (previously Doc Rivers, 1986-87, 12).

Through 60 games played so far this season, Young is averaging a league-leading 11.5 assists per game, to go along with 23.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals. In addition to leading the NBA in assists per game, and total assists, he also leads all players in total clutch points (150), assists (36), three-pointers (17) and free throws (63).

Young a perfectly ethical 21-for-21 from the line to lead Hawks to victory, 123-110

Mady Mertens-Imagn Images

It’s a winning streak.

The birds and the bees meet once again, with Atlanta continuing their push for the playoffs and Charlotte continuing to, um, finish their season. Trae Young made his return after a one-game absence, and Caris LeVert would later do the same off the bench.

The Hawks were active on defense and managed to come up with a number of timely deflections early. Dyson Daniels does just this with a chase down block, and he even rewarded himself with two points for that effort:

However, Charlotte soon found it too easy to get inside and score, and with that the Hawks faced an early deficit.

Caris LeVert brought some needed scoring energy off the bench, like on this four-point play:

The Hawks and Hornets went back and forth for the remainder of the first quarter. At the first break, Atlanta led 30-29.

In the second quarter, the Hawks had a nice scoring stretch aided by transition opportunities. They largely stifled the Hornets on defense but had trouble turning that into a significant edge on the scoreboard.

That is, until Zaccharie Risacher decided to do something about it:

It was a scrappy, ragged game at times, but Atlanta largely kept their noses ahead of their opponent over the rest of the half.

Heading into the locker rooms, the Hawks were up 52-49.

The good guys came out in the second half with a determination that was unmatched by their opponent. An 11-0 run put the home side firmly in control of the contest.

With a double-digit lead in hand, the Hawks looked to see off this game. Young, in particular, got going as a scorer in the third quarter. He poured in 17 points on 4-for-7 shooting from the field to give the Hawks a big lift.

The Hornets didn’t go away quietly, however. It was up to the Hawks to put them away with authority. Charlotte hung in the game behind their 13-for-28 (46%) shooting from three through three quarters, and so focus was urgently required in the final frame.

Heading into the fourth quarter, the Hawks led 89 to 78.

The Hornets made an immediate run in the fourth period, narrowing the deficit to four points after a 7-0 run. But Atlanta pushed back with a couple of Vit Krejci scoring possessions.

Following that was a three-point play with some sauce from Young:

Atlanta maintained a solid distances from Charlotte but couldn’t quite put them away by the halfway point in the last quarter.

The Hawks executed down the stretch to remove all drama from this one, so all the fans in State Farm Arena were able to exhale. This Trae Young dime just about sealed the deal:

The Hawks calmly secured their fourth win in a row. Trae Young led the way with 35 points and 12 assists, including a perfect 21-for-21 from the free throw line — the most free throws made by a player in a game all season long.

Hawks punish Charlotte turnovers, win fourth straight game

The Hawks forced turnovers en route to victory, boosted by a historic free throw clinic from Trae Young.

The Atlanta Hawks notched a fourth consecutive win as they took care of business at home to the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night at State Farm Arena, 123-110.

Trae Young led the hosts with 35 points and 12 assists — including an incredible 21-of-21 from the free throw line — while Caris LeVert added 15 points. For the visiting Hornets, Miles Bridges scored 31 points, and LaMelo added 25 points to the Charlotte cause.

The Hawks were clear favorites heading into this game despite all their regular absences, and that of Clint Capela (out for family reasons), against a Hornets side who are not only among the bottom in the Eastern Conference but similarly without some key players including Brandon Miller.

This was...not the prettiest game in the world, particularly in the first half in which neither team shot above 42% from the field.

Miles Bridges scored 16 first half points on 6-of-10 shooting while Young could score just nine points on 2-of-8 shooting to reflect a poor half for the Hawks shooting the ball, relatively speaking. To end the first half, the two sides were separated by just three points with all to play for in the second half.

If Hawks head coach Quin Snyder had anything to say in the locker-room it certainly seemed to work as the Hawks came out in the second half with an 11-0 run to give the Hawks their first double-digit lead and a 14-point lead overall within the first three minutes of the second half.

After a Dyson Daniels turnover to begin the half, the Hawks get a stop between Mo Gueye being credited for a block inside on Mark Williams and before Ball misses a three — with Daniels credited for a block on the missed three. After which, Young pushes the ball up the floor, gets inside the paint, circles around, and sheds the defender and hits the easy floater:

It was hard to see the Gueye block initially but good activity inside from Gueye and another good block from Daniels on that perimeter shot. Onyeka Okongwu also did a good job sealing Williams to prevent him from contesting Young’s shot inside.

The Hawks get another stop on the following possession as Zaccharie Risacher hoists a good contest on the jumpshot after moving his feet well defensively, and when Williams tries to save the ball to a teammate, Daniels is there to pounce. Daniels pushes in transition, draws the defense and offloads the ball to Gueye, who draws the foul and free throws (hitting one out of two):

Gueye misses his second free throw but grabs his own miss, and from which the Hornets are called for a kick ball violation. From the out-of-bounds play, the Hawks catch the Hornets napping as Risacher hits a three-pointer:

Gueye would feature on the next possession too, as he does well to contest a shot from Bridges which bricks offline:

Gueye would next strike offensively as he hits a three-pointer after an offensive rebound and kick-out from Okongwu:

Gueye wasn’t done here, however, as he sticks with the Bridges drive, comes up with the steal, and Daniels streaks in transition to complete the run, give the Hawks a 14-point lead, and force a Charlotte timeout:

A very impactful stretch for Gueye in this quarter, and it gave the Hawks the separation they needed.

The lead would stretch to as many as 15 points in the third, and while the lead was briefly brought down to four points in the early stages of the fourth quarter the Hawks soon re-established control and never looked under threat. Young’s seven fourth quarter free throws — combined with 16 free throws made in the fourth quarter as a team — helped keep the Hornets at bay in a comfortable 123-110 victory to make it four in a row.

Snyder wasn’t too impressed with the Hawks’ first quarter but was pleased of the progression the Hawks made from the second quarter onwards and happy with the adjustments that were made to limit the Hornets’ effectiveness.

“The second quarter we were much better,” said Snyder when asked of the defense. “I thought they were loose, they were making shots. There were too many shots that weren’t contested and they make them anyway (but) having to shoot over a hand is different. We had some breakdowns in pick-and-roll — we knew it would be a heavy pick-and-roll game — where our bottom weak-side defender wasn’t in the right position. I think you saw Williams, that’s where they got a couple of dunks. I think we did a good job cleaning that up, you can recall there was one play where Dyson was right there and we stole the ball.

“Any time you play against a center like Williams who has that athleticism, you have to in the right position or it’s going to be tough. There was a stretch late where we fouled, and I thought that hurt us. I thought we were pretty good in transition other than some live ball turnovers where they were able to run out off our mistakes offensively.”

The Hawks’ defense was certainly active when it came to procuring steals: 13 on the night contributing to 21 Charlotte turnovers, helping result in 25 points off of turnovers. Dyson Daniels led the way with four steals, but it was certainly a team effort across the board, and an impressive one at that.

Let’s look at some steals from this game starting with Daniels, who manages to pluck this pass out of the air for a steal which feeds an opportunity for Young:

Next, Mo Gueye was active on this play as he fends of Williams and uses his length to come up with the steal on this intended pass inside:

Dominick Barlow — in the rotation in place of the absent Capela — was active last night with two steals off the bench, this recovery effort to slap the ball loose from behind on Jusuf Nurkic accounting for one of his steals:

The second steal comes as Nurkic tries to seal Barlow inside and use his physicality to back Barlow down for an easy basket, but Barlow battles and manages to tip the ball loose, eventually securing it:

Great effort from Barlow defensively in this stretch to battle against the imposing physical presence of Nurkic.

This next play involves Dyson Daniels doing Dyson Daniels things as he detects the danger of Williams rolling to the rim, drifts to the middle and rips the ball clean from Williams’ hands, who commits a take foul in frustration afterwards:

When Bridges comes down the floor and attempts to get off the ball, Daniels is in place to intercept a loose pass for his fourth steal of the game:

Here, Caris LeVert springs into action as he spots where the pass is heading and races over to poke the ball free from Williams as his instincts serve him well:

There were a few turnovers where the Hornets were just poor on the ball, such as this pass which is easily picked up by Risacher:

For the most part, the Hawks were just very active defensively and made life difficult for the Hornets, and it was a team-wide effort which Snyder praised postgame.

“It’s something I talked to the team about; I thought we got really good effort and good play from everybody that went into the game,” said Snyder when asked about forcing turnovers. “When you’re playing a 10-man rotation like we did tonight, that’s one thing you should be able to have with that aggressiveness, guys are fresher. Dom got a couple of steals denying the elbow and the ball pressure was solid, we didn’t overextend or gamble. Guys were in the right spots and were focused.”

“We played very aggressive, they still made a lot of shots and plays, but I feel our defense was there and we played very hard defensively,” added Young. “If we didn’t do that we wouldn’t have won tonight. We dug deep and got some stops.”

The Hawks didn’t shoot the ball especially well and should have had a lot more than 25 points off of turnovers — they were actually quite wasteful with their live ball steals and converting those into points, many of these live ball/fastbreak turnover opportunities weren’t converted. Many of these came from free throws, with the Hawks outscoring the Hornets 35-16 from the free throw line — the Hornets shooting 16-of-18 from the line while the Hawks shot 35-of-39 from the line.

Young led the headlines with 21 made free throws, shooting a perfect 21-of-21 from the line. Only six players have attempted 20 or more free throws in a game this season, including Young’s efforts last night, but only Young has dispatched 20 or more free throws in a game in the league this season. Young’s success extends far beyond this game: according to StatMuse, only three other players in NBA history have hit more than 21 free throws with 100% accuracy from the line: James Harden (24), Jimmy Butler (23), and of course Hawks legend Dominique Wilkins (23).

Young shares the next spot on this list with Kevin Durant and Deron Williams, who also hit 21 free throws without a miss in a game. It’s an incredible feat that very few have ever accomplished.

Added to this, had Young not intentionally missed the last free throw against Indiana on Friday, he would have broken a franchise streak for consecutive free throws made without a miss. Before his intentional miss on Friday, Young had made 47 consecutive free throws (the record is 50, set by Kyle Korver) and made another 21 in a row last night...the streak would have been shattered by now were it not for Young’s selflessness — which Snyder referenced postgame.

On a night where Young didn’t have the best night shooting the ball from the field, these free throws were key, with Young himself outscoring the Hornets from the free throw line.

“I know how to score, if my shot’s not going I know how to get to the line,” said Young. “Not only does it help our team score but it puts them in foul trouble, especially when guys have been aggressive as they’ve been. It’s something I’ve always been able to do. Free throws are free, so you’ve got to be able to focus and knock them down; I’ve been doing that a lot more and a lot better recently.”

When Snyder was asked about Young postgame, he mentioned that Young was turning down shots in the second half to find his teammates while referencing his speed, which forces defenses to foul him.

“The shots he was getting early, I thought he was taking good shots,” said Snyder of Young. “He was turning down some of those shots in the second half and keeping his dribble alive and finding people. Trae doesn’t necessarily define himself in those two situations as far as shot making and assists — he’s good at both of them. He puts a lot of pressure on the defense and that’s what you saw tonight. He was going by people. A lot of times when someone who’s really quick goes by you there’s opportunities to draw fouls and it’s hard to stay in front of him.”

The scoring around Young was a balanced effort, with Caris LeVert the next leading scorer with 15 behind four three-pointers. The bench was fantastic — a lot of really solid and productive nights off the bench.

Georges Niang scored 12 points, Barlow scored nine points and produced a couple of steals to go with a block, Terance Mann scored 10 points and enjoyed a back-and-forth with Ball, and Vit Krejci hit three threes en route to 11 points as his return continues to represent a huge boost for the Hawks’ bench, which has been firing since the addition of LeVert, Niang, and Mann.

“They’re veterans, and that experience not only is valuable on the floor but is valuable in locker-room and practice settings,” said Snyder. “They’re all different players but every one of them helps our group and lifts us in different ways.”

All in all, not the best game of basketball in the world and the Hawks weren’t at their best in this game, but the turnover battle — which they played a big part in — helped their cause, the Atlanta bench was fantastic, and the free throw differential (led by Young’s historic night) helped nudge the hosts over the top in a comfortable victory in the end.

Goodness, that third quarter was ugly.

It was a night of reunions as both Bogdan Bogdanovic and Terance Mann faced their respective past teams tonight in State Farm Arena. With the Los Angeles Clippers in town, there was a lot of love shown to ‘Bogi’, but the Hawks still needed to take care of business against James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and others.

It was a wild affair early on with scoring and transition play initiated by the Hawks pickpocketing Los Angeles three times in the first three minutes. Here was one such example, started by none other than the league leader in steals, of course:

Atlanta left a few points on the table with misses at the rim, but they played solidly on both ends otherwise and jumped out to a 22-15 lead with three minutes left in the quarter.

Atlanta let the Clippers pull back closer in the final stages of the period, and they could only take a 26-24 edge into the second quarter.

The Hawks continued to fight, with some key contributions from Vit Krejci and Zaccharie Risacher keeping the good guys above water. The rook, in particular, flashed some good awareness in moving off ball for these pair of buckets:

Still, Harden, Leonard and Bogi matched the Hawks’ offensive execution on the other end and continuously battled back, even retaking the lead at times.

But Atlanta surged ahead with a 9-0 run after the game was knotted at 48-48 late in the second quarter. At the halftime break, the Hawks led 61-53. Zaccharie Risacher led the way with 13 points on 5-for-5 shooting from the field.

In the third quarter, the Hawks came out sloppy and unorganized, and the Clippers went on an immediate 10-0 run to take the lead. Trae Young and Dyson Daniels were both struggling from the field, as they began the game a combined 3-for-19 (16%) from the field and 0-for-7 from three.

Things just avalanched from there, as the offense went anemic and didn’t regain footing until the Clippers had a solid double-digit lead. That dry spell gave the Clips a big runway towards getting out in transition and getting easy points. There was even a 19-0 run mixed in there.

After a 35-8 quarter, Los Angeles led big, 88-69. The Hawks could only muster a 29.6 offensive rating — eight puny points on 27 possessions that quarter.

Clearly, with a mountain to climb in the fourth, the Hawks would need a miracle comeback starting immediately.

The basketball gods did not bless them. They lost 121-98 in what was far from a nailbiter.

Onyeka Okongwu finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Zaccharie Risacher added 17 points, seven rebounds and two assist.

Hawks score eight points in third quarter disaster-class in loss to Clippers

Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images

A horror show for the Hawks in a game they had looked to be firing well.

The Atlanta Hawks’ four game winning streak came to a crashing halt as they fell to a 123-98 defeat to the L.A. Clippers at State Farm Arena on Friday night. Onyeka Okongwu led the Hawks with 18 points with Trae Young adding 17 points. For the Clippers, James Harden and Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points apiece en route to victory.

The Clippers are a good team in the Western Conference and led by a strong duo in Harden and Leonard — not to mention a solid supporting cast built around them. The visitors were considered favorites heading into last night’s contest, but it was the Hawks who held a marginal lead for much of the first half before stretching their legs in the second quarter taking a double-digit lead in part thanks to an 11-point second quarter from Zaccharie Risacher.

The Hawks’ lead was as high as 11 points before a Nicolas Batum three at the buzzer reduced the lead to eight points heading into halftime.

While the three at the buzzer was a slight downer of affairs, overall, the Hawks ended the half on a very positive note: 61 first half points on 52% shooting and 41% from three would make a very good reading on most nights. However, the third quarter could not have been a further departure from anything that came before. The Hawks proceeded to shoot 4-of-23 from the field in the third quarter, scoring just eight points. The Clippers, meanwhile, scored 35 points to not only erase Atlanta’s lead but race to a 19-point lead in the third quarter.

Let’s look at the third quarter plays and see what happened — and how the Hawks scored their lowest scoring quarter in a game since 2013. There were three factors as to why the Hawks scored just eight points: the Clippers’ defense, Atlanta’s own missed shots, and turnovers/steals.

Let’s start with the Clippers’ defense — it was what ensured the Hawks were unsettled early on and it certainly seemed as though those early contested misses carried through to when the Hawks had more open shots that didn’t fall.

It started immediately in the third as Young is pressured by Batum — with other Clipper bodies showing defensive activity — and forces the pass from Young to Daniels in the corner. Batum doesn’t give up on the play, and blocks the corner three attempt from Daniels:

Young faced fierce ball pressure from former Hawk Kris Dunn, who hounds Young on this possession around the screen and blocks Young’s shot from behind:

The Clippers interior defense also held firm when called upon, with Okongwu electing to go up against the length of Ivica Zubac but can’t get the shot to drop:

On this play, Dunn harries Georges Niang from the perimeter all the way into the paint and makes Niang take a tough shot inside which is missed:

The presence of Dunn similarly prompts a rushed shot from Daniels inside:

The Clippers’ defense certainly made the Hawks uneasy offensively. Eventually, easier shot opportunities came but the Hawks struggled to convert them.

On this play, Okongwu kicks the ball out to an open Daniels, who misses the three, with Young’s follow attempt on the offensive rebound also falling short:

Faced with an easier prospect of being guarded by Harden, Daniels is able to get downhill to his spin but with Zubac looming Daniels leaves the layup short:

Again, Harden provides little resistance for Young who gets downhill and into the lane but his left-handed runner is missed, again with Zubac looming nearby:

An even better offensive prospect for the Hawks: James Harden in the pick-and-roll, and it buys Caris LeVert with a shot he’d probably hit in his sleep, but when he gets to the free throw line area the open jumpshot is missed:

Here, the Hawks get two look at good-looking threes; the first from Terance Mann in one corner, and another from Dominick Barlow in the opposite corner after the offensive rebound and find from Vit Krejci:

The Hawks didn’t always do themselves favor with regards turning the ball over, although the Clippers deserve credit for making life difficult in this department: eight turnovers and seven steals respectively in the third.

Kawhi Leonard still has a big impact defensively, switching on the pick-and-roll with Daniels and reaches in to poke the ball away from the Australian:

On an out-of-bounds play, Batum is able to reach around Okongwu and knock Young’s pass away:

On the wing, Mo Gueye’s cross-court pass is telegraphed by Harden for another steal:

This is an experienced play; passes like that are always in danger of being picked off.

As the help defender this time, Leonard catches Risacher unawares and pokes the ball away from the rookie, leading to another turnover:

Similarly, Harden gets his hand in on the dig on the drive for the turnover, and Harden is rewarded for his efforts as he sinks the three-pointer on the other end of the court:

“You’ve got to keep playing, you can’t let missed shots affect your defense,” said Caris LeVert postgame. “That’s what a mature team does.”

Finally, Young’s intended pass inside for Barlow is read by Ben Simmons, who is athletic enough to contest for the ball and intercepts the pass, resulting in another turnover:

A horrible, horrible quarter for the Hawks — one where they entered with a little cushion and ended it on the end of a potential blowout which turned to be the case in the fourth quarter as the Hawks never brought the lead below 15 points before the Clippers ended with a game-high lead of 23 points.

Hawks head coach Quin Snyder outlined why the third quarter went so wrong, citing the Hawks’ open misses and the Hawks’ turnovers.

“It was a perfect storm,” said Snyder. “We had some open looks from three, wide open. We had the ball at the rim, had some layups that danced around the rim and didn’t go in. If that’s happening you can’t turn the ball over — that was as big as any part of the game-plan. We had 10 of them in that one quarter. We lost the game in that quarter. We were trying a little bit of everything. We played well in the half, and that quarter for those reasons against a team like that, it’s hard to sustain your defense when they’re scoring and you’re taking it out of bounds. Even then, I thought we got some good stuff.”

“It’s a combination of both,” added Young of the third quarter. “We weren’t making shots, turning it over, including me. Got to be better.”

The Clippers deserve a lot more credit for their efforts in the third quarter defending the Hawks and forcing turnovers, which Snyder didn’t seem to want to credit, but Caris LeVert was more magnanimous.

“I think we had a couple of tough turnovers as a team,” said LeVert of the third quarter. “They made shots, we missed shots, that’s sometimes what happens with this game. Got to tip our hats to them, they had a good game-plan. At half time they switched things up, you’ve got to tip your hats to them.”

The debrief for Snyder and his squad as to why this game fell away from their grasp doesn’t appear as if it’ll be an extensive process, with Snyder speaking with a degree of certainty that the debrief will not take long.

“I think for us to understand what happened, I don’t think that’s a complicated process,” said Snyder. “We’ve been playing well and we played well at times tonight. We can feel it, it’s OK to feel a loss, but to be ready to go the next game.”

There were a number of good performances first half that ultimately faded into obscurity such as Risacher (unable to follow his second quarter showing — 13 first half points) and LeVert (10 first half points). The Hawks’ usual suspects could not find their feet offensively. Dyson Daniels scored just six points on 2-of-12 shooting, LeVert only scored two second half points, and All-Star Trae Young scored 17 points on 6-of-18 from the field and seven turnovers. Young faced a lot of defensive pressure from Kris Dunn, as well as a multitude of switching bodies. Unlike other nights when Young was disrupted, no one else could step up last night.

“Everybody on our team had stretches where we struggled collectively,” said Snyder. “When we play, the game-plan is always going to be about Trae. Whether they send him a certain direction or being physical with him, he’s going to see all those thing — and he’s seen all of them. We need to play better as a team.”

Young was hampered by a shoulder issue, which he described postgame picking up in Wednesday’s win over Charlotte. Young wore a compression sleeve to begin the game which he ditched at halftime.

“I got hit last game, Nurkic fouled me in the first quarter,” said Young of his shoulder. “It was hurting again, so I tried it again. I took it off, I was frustrated. I wasn’t hitting some of my shots I usually make.”

Elsewhere, Dominick Barlow scored a solid 10 points off the bench and when Snyder was asked about Barlow, he was quick to mention the efforts of Okongwu.

“He’s done that for us when he’s got opportunities to play,” said Snyder of Barlow. “Both he and ‘O’ were sure with the ball. They made plays. In addition to finishing, both of those guys can handle and pass the ball. It was good to see Dom come in and take that opportunity, Onyeka as well.”

With no Clint Capela (out for family reasons) there was a lot of pressure on the big man matchup with Zubac, who is a force to handle inside with his smooth offense and rebounding ability. It’s not been a matchup the Hawks have always thrived in, but the Hawks did an OK job between Okongwu and Barlow on Zubac — it wasn’t quite the 20-15 game that can be seen from Zubac against the Hawks. Of all the issues last night, the Zubac matchup was not one of them.

The feel-good moment of the game that will last was the reunion of the Hawks and former wing Bogdan Bogdanovic. Bogdanovic signed with the Hawks in free agency in 2020 before being traded to the Clippers earlier this season. Bogdanovic was given a positive ovation (it would be hard to find anyone who didn’t love Bogdanovic during his Atlanta stint) and a video tribute.

— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) March 14, 2025​

“It was bittersweet,” said Young of seeing Bogdanovic. “I got a lot of love for ‘Bogi’, we’ve got a lot of memories together. It’s tough. Obviously he’s a great player and he’s going to do great things. I’m glad he’s not in the East, so we don’t have to worry about him over here.”

In the grand scheme of things, this game is probably better remembered for welcoming an old friend back home and not the eight point horror that lost the Hawks this game. No one will want to remember this game in a hurry for that reason, but seeing an old friend who provided a lot of great memories in his time at Atlanta? That sounds a lot more heartwarming.

The Hawks and Clippers will move on, both teams will continue their battle for Play-In position — the Hawks still holding onto seventh in the East and the Clippers a couple of games shy of the seven-seed themselves in a loaded Western Conference.

Unfortunate.

The Atlanta Hawks were in Brooklyn on Sunday evening to face the Nets. The Hawks have seen success in four of their last five games, and it looks like they’ve found the chemistry they needed at the right time of the season.

These two teams haven’t faced off since the season opener, and they both look different than they did last October.

The Hawks trailed throughout most of the first quarter, but they continued to keep it close against the Nets. Trae Young got this three-pointer to go after a Risacher miss from the same spot.

The thing that kept the Nets in the lead was their three-point shooting, as they went 6-for-11 from behind the arc, while the Hawks only shot 29%. Going into the second quarter, the Hawks trailed 33-27.

Things didn’t get better for the Hawks in the second quarter, and they went down by as much as 12 points early. The Hawks needed to see a shot go in, and Georges Niang knocked down a three to get their deficit back in single digits.

Both teams went into sort of a slump, but the Hawks were able to a rhythm first and cut their deficit down late in the first half. Onyeka Okongwu continues to expand his range as the season progresses and knocked down a three at the top of the key.

The Hawks eventually were able to take the lead, as they hampered down on defense and started to get some shots to go down. Young ended the half in style, getting a steal at halfcourt, Daniels giving him the ball back, and knocking down a three to give the Hawks a 62-56 lead.

The Nets started to pick things up late in the quarter, which allowed them to get back into the game and they went into the fourth quarter down only one point. The Nets eventually took the lead in the fourth, and they kept it for some time. The Nets increased their lead by as much as 11 until Onyeka Okongwu hit this and-one.

The Hawks got their deficit down to as much as three points in the quarter, but mishaps on defense led the Nets to get easy shots down the stretch, and they walked away with the win.

Young finished with 28 points and 12 assists, Okongwu finished with 21 points and 15 rebounds, Risacher finished with 16 points, and Daniels finished with 14 points, seven assists, and five steals.

Big second half leads Hawks past Hornets, 134-102

That was a beatdown.

The Atlanta Hawks were in Charlotte on Tuesday evening to face the Hornets. The Hawks cane in after taking a loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, still trying to create some distance between them and the other teams around the Play-In.

Both teams just saw each other last week and the Hawks took the win, but this time there would be some differences. LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges were out for the Hornets, and Caris LeVert missed his second straight game with right knee soreness.

Dyson Daniels didn’t waste any time grabbing a steal in this one and took it coast-to-coast for the and-one.

The Hawks came out knocking down threes, getting two from Onyeka Okongwu, and one each from Trae Young and Zaccharie Risacher. The Hawks had a lead as big as 13 early in the first quarter.

The second quarter started a bit rocky for the Hawks with a few turnovers, but a few nice plays on the offensive side of the ball neutralized them. Terance Mann got this three to go to keep the Hawks afloat.

The rest of the team followed Risacher’s lead, and they started to run the score up on the Hornets in the third. Unfortunately for the Hornets, Risacher kept his hot streak going and scored 16 points in the third.

With the lead continuing to grow, the Hawks started having fun and Young found Daniels with this behind-the-back pass.

[Atlanta Hawks]

Letting out this season’s frustrations

Ranting about yet another lost season.

Who gets the biggest piece of the blame pie? This is a safe space.

The Hawks’ season has not gone as planned. With Jalen Johnson going down midseason and the Hawks moving off De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdandovic for pieces in Georges Niang, Caris LeVert and Terance Mann they’ve had a lot of turnover with their roster.

The NBA has so many unspoken rules — the biggest one, however, is that losing games falls at the feet of the best player on the team before anyone else in the organization. For this Hawks team, their best player is Trae Young, an offensive system unto himself and arguably the best passer in basketball — and to be frank the past few seasons...that just hasn’t been enough.

The Hawks are on pace for their second straight losing season and the seventh place spot in the Eastern Conference which guarantees them a Play-In spot with at least two opportunities to make the Playoffs and it begs the question, why?

The injuries to the Hawks roster the past few seasons have left them battered. The loss of potential backup point guard Kobe Bufkin has effectively made him a loss for the team, and since being chosen in the first round by the Atlanta Hawks he’s played in just 27 games. So effectively, the past two years the Hawks have had no point guard depth outside of rising backup Vit Krejci while simultaneously dealing with Jalen Johnson and his unfortunate injury luck dating back as far as his rookie season (and further than that if you want to get dark about it) before he eventually tore his labrum this season, creating instability in the frontcourt as well.

Whose fault is it? Simple answer? Blame God. The Hawks being the 7-seed this season almost seems like an accomplishment.

I’ve often criticized the Hawks ownership and front office and have always felt wholly justified in doing so, but when you look at the team as its currently constructed in March of 2025, I’m not sure what more could have been done to prevent this outcome. Trae Young, for all his positives and all the heavy lifting he does, is not a guy you can rely on to get you 25 efficient points a night.

And that’s perfectly fine.

I believe the level of playmaking ability he brings to a game makes up for his inefficient stretches. I’d even go as far to say that after the Hawks made moves to get Hunter and ‘Bogi’ into new scenery, they actually improved and created depth.

What does our front court rotation look like healthy? What does our guard rotation look like when healthy? We have no idea. To lay the blame at the feet of any one player would seem careless.

I understand this is coming recently after one of the worst losses of the season against the Clippers where the Hawks lost a quarter 35-8 and that projecting a light at the end of the tunnel isn’t what fans want to hear. But I’m sorry, I see the light breaking through all this muck.

Jalen Johnson is real. We need to see him make it through a complete season as a starter but there are no doubts, he’s real. That has to be nurtured the next few seasons. Chances are the team will never be better at the starting point guard position unless you bring in a MVP-level talent which would be nearly impossible, meaning looking to move on from Trae in the short term will only hold back what Jalen Johnson will be offensively.

Unless you’re the type of fan that’d want to see Jalen as the primary ball handler AKA a basketball terrorist.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Atlanta Hawks future is bright. The pieces they got back in those deadline trades look like smart moves that could be turned into great ones.

Before losing Jalen Johnson the Hawks had gone 22-19, and they have gone 11-16 since then. So, there is no question as to why the season began to break down.

My question to fans is this: if Jalen Johnson is this important to team success as the no. 2 option, how good is your team?

Hawks press gas early, cruise in G-Wagon to 124-115 dub over Dubs

Big games out of Young, Okongwu, and Niang.

The home crowd in State Farm Arena sadly missed their one chance to see Steph Curry live this season as he suffered a pelvic contusion during Golden State’s previous game against the Toronto Raptors and was ruled out for this contest.

The Hawks started strong, with one two three-point plays: one the conventional fashion and the other non-conventional. All five Hawks scored within minutes of the contest, including Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye:

At the first timeout, the Hawks led 24-16 behind 9-for-13 shooting from the field.

They only accelerated from there, amazingly. Onyeka Okongwu did some work from the post as well:

The Hawks had doubled up the Warriors 36-18 by the second timeout, with Steve Kerr looking for any answer at all to try to slow down Atlanta’s lethal attack tonight. All the way up to the final buzzer in the period, the Hawks were dialed in:

With a 40-23 lead after one, the Hawks had to lock in and not let this lead slip like they have so often this season.

In the second quarter, the excellent ball movement continued, like on this play to find Terance Mann for a wide open three:

The Warriors never went away quietly, but Atlanta’s energy kept them firmly in front heading into the midpoint of the second quarter.

You know Trae Young had to get involved as well:

The Hawks continued to roll all the way into the halftime locker room, where they led 69-57.

The team shot a pristine 30-for-50 (60%) from the field and sported a 136 offensive rating in the first half. Onyeka Okongwu led the way with 18 points, six assists, and five rebounds.

The Hawks came out in the third quarter a step slow on defense, and the Warriors were able to cut the deficit to single digits quickly. But Atlanta responded with some stops and transition buckets, like this Trae to Zacch connection:

But Atlanta had lost some of their halfcourt offensive rhythm they displayed in the first half. That is, until Okongwu and Georges Niang revved it back up:

— Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) March 23, 2025​

The Hawks were able to push the lead back to 15 points and force a Kerr timeout with a strong stretch of bench play. Niang continued to bury threes, and Dom Barlow brought some inside presence with his rebounding.

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were up 98-81.

Georges Niang continued his heater in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter. He began the night 6-for-8 from deep:

Atlanta pushed their lead north of 20 points for a stretch, bringing a roar to the crowd in State Farm Arena.

But the Warriors came up with some strong defensive plays to quickly narrow the lead back down to close contest. With 4:15 left to play, the scoreline was reduced to 110-100, and the Hawks needed to find an answer.

There were some nervy moments just bringing the ball up the court, and while the Hawks found some answers there, there were also defensive breakdowns in the halfcourt.

With the lead at 117-109 with just under two minutes left to play, the Hawks weren’t out of the woods by any means.

But the Hawks did eventually find some answers in breaking down the Warriors halfcourt press, and they finally salted the game away for a big W, 124-115.

Trae Young powered the team with 25 points and 10 assists, Onyeka Okongwu dropped 22 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and Georges Niang poured in 23 points off the bench.

The Hawks now find themselves at 34-36 with a matchup against the depleted Sixers tomorrow evening.
