The Atlanta Hawks took home an ‘ugly’ win on Sunday evening, when they needed 47 points from Trae Young to outlast the severely short-handed Indiana Pacers, who had played and traveled the night before. Nonetheless, a win is a win, and the Hawks will look for another one on Monday when they host the struggling Portland Trail Blazers.
Damian Lillard is out for the season due to injury, and CJ McCollum has been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Blazers team that will be in Atlanta Monday evening is one the Hawks should have no trouble with, even during their second game in as many nights.
