Hawks emerge from layoff with a thud in blowout loss to Hornets

The Atlanta Hawks are once again searching for answers after a 107-84 blowout loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

Long layoffs again proved to be costly for the Atlanta Hawks as they responded from a three-game break with a thud in a 107-84 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The Hawks fell behind 17-2 to start the game and were outscored 35-22 in the third quarter against a Hornets team that has won just three times in their last 10 games.

The Hawks have struggled to maintain their intensity over long stretches of off days and it is something that the coaching staff is aware of.
