The Hawks held a spirited – and often loud – practice on Tuesday. The workout came a day after the Hawks dropped a 100-88 home loss to the Heat. The Hawks are slumping. The loss was their third straight and 11th in the past 18 games since starting the season 7-1.
“Great practice,” Paul Millsap said after the workout. “Very intense. Very intense. It was great. Something we needed. Hopefully, it’s the turning point.”
The Hawks’ recent struggles come off a 60-win campaign and a berth in the Eastern Conference finals and bring increased scrutiny as to what is wrong with this year’s team.
