Atlanta outlasted Brooklyn 147-145 in an overtime thriller in its last game, a night after losing another high-scoring affair against Indiana. PG Trae Young poured in a season-high 43 points, including 14 in overtime, imposing his will on the Nets defenders. Both teams attempted about 115 shots, and while Brooklyn outshot Atlanta from the field, the Hawks knocked down 27 of 29 foul shots.
“We gave up a lot of points, but when it mattered, we got some big stops,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said.
Young (26.0 PPG) and SG Dejounte Murray (21.6 PPG) are leading the Hawks in scoring this season. Young has been inefficient (38.8 FG%), but he is still dishing out nearly 11 dimes per game. Atlanta also relies on contributions from SG Bogdan Bogdanovic (15.4 PPG), SF Jalen Johnson (14.6 PPG), and SF De'Andre Hunter (13.3 PPG).
The Hawks score 124.1 points per game (2nd) and shoot 48.3 percent (7th), including 36.6 percent from long range (11th). They shoot 83.9 percent at the charity stripe (5th) and average 44.8 rebounds (11th). Atlanta's opponents score 122.6 points per game (27th) and shoot 49.5 percent from the floor (25th), including 38.4 percent from three (25th), with 42.4 rebounds per game (7th).
The Hawks are 3rd in adjusted offensive rating, 23rd in adjusted defensive rating, and 3rd in pace, per Dunks and Threes.
