The Atlanta Hawks have won four games in a row. They ran the Hornets out of the gym in a 40 point victory, mounted a historic comeback against the Boston Celtics, handled the Trail Blazers, and defeated the Celtics again on the latter of a back-to-back.
The Hawks turned the ball over on their first two possessions, and Jaylen Brown took a 4-0 lead on his own. Capela then scored four points to tie it up. Dejounte Murray was firing up shots from the beginning, missing his first three attempts before sinking a three-pointer over Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis matched up on Murray defensively would prove to be crucial in the finish of this game.
