Close but no cigar
Everything pointed towards this game being a write-off for the Atlanta Hawks.
Not only were the Hawks travelling to the building of one of the best teams in the league, the Hawks were also shorthanded, missing Kent Bazemore, Taurean Prince and Kevin Huerter (who was a late scratch).
