The Atlanta Hawks were unable to add to their recent form as they fell to a double-digit loss at home to the New Orleans Pelicans, 116-103, on Sunday night at State Farm Arena.
Bogdan Bogdanovic led the Hawks with 25 points with Dejounte Murray adding 23 points and 11 assists. For the Pelicans, Trey Murphy III led with 28 points off the bench. Zion Williamson added 27 points.
Since Trae Young has been sidelined by injury, the Hawks haven’t played what you could consider a quality opponent. The teams they’ve faced so far have either been ravaged with injury, such as New York and Cleveland, or are lottery-bound teams.
