Clint Capela already sheds of the rust as he gave the team 16 points, 16 rebounds, three steals, and two blocks. Trae Young had a bad shooting night doing just 6-of-16 from the field but finished with 16 points, 10 assists, and four rebounds. He also committed 6 turnovers and four other Hawks contributed double-digit scoring. The team’s total turnovers of 20 hurt the team and 53% shooting from the free-throw line cost them the game.
