For the 2nd time in 5 days, the Atlanta Hawks look the Indiana Pacers in the face, this time at Gainbridge Fieldhouse with 2 of its returning starters, Zaccharie Risacher and Jalen Johnson.

In need of a win in a winnable game, Atlanta showcased one of its worse defensive efforts of the season albeit while still forcing 20+ turnovers failed to capitalize down the stretch with a turnover of their own including failure to convert on critically costly free-throws.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste address 2nd half shooting woes, how the team ruined Jalen Johnson's special night and ATL's frontcourt reality/concerns.

The Atlanta Hawks utilize its high-powered offensive backcourt to push the Houston Rockets to the brink in the first half and much of the 3rd Quarter before the Rockets took off on a 12- 1 run.

Size mattered on Thursday night at State Farm Arena between two franchises, both on the back end of back-to-back contests despite a low scoring first half. Entering the game on a 4-game winning streak was the Hawks who was forced to put forth their best efforts in the backcourt due to inactivity from Jalen Johnson, Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu and Kristaps Porzingis.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste elaborate on Corey Kispert's value, scoring options after Nickeil Alexander-Walker/CJ McCollum and how ATL competed in paint scoring.

In a rematch from a meeting less than 2 weeks ago, Atlanta Hawks stand on business and win their 4th consecutive game including their 3rd in a row versus Boston in Massachusetts.

After ATL jumped out to a 26-9 run from the tip, they extended a 32-11 run and never looked back by replying with a converted basket to Boston's efforts to cut the deficit albeit with physicality and efficient shooting during a chippy contest.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste dissect how Atlanta's pace and floor spacing made life difficult for the Celtics including elite defense, ball protection and balanced scoring among its roster with 6 players recording double figures in scoring.
