After winning three straight games that ended with a 117-98 route of the Bucks at home, the Hawks can't get out of the win one, lose one rut they've been in. In their last eight games, the Hawks have traded a win for a loss from game to game. Atlanta knocked off the red-hot Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, 115-106, and will look to put together another win streak starting in Houston. On Wednesday night at home, Trae Young scored 35 points and Clint Capela added a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds to end the Kings' win streak at seven games.
“We were just playing fast, playing aggressive, getting downhill,” Young said. “When we get into the paint, whether we’re scoring in the paint or firing to somebody on the wing or the perimeter, it brings good offense. We were doing a good job of getting in the paint and making plays.”
