Taurean Prince made his first career NBA start for the Atlanta Hawks in Sunday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets. While Prince has seen an increased role of late, his performance on Sunday was probably the silver lining in what was another painful loss for the Hawks.
“I feel good just playing,” Prince said when asked about his first starting assignment. “Obviously we wanted to win, so I’m not satisfied. Going to get back to work.”
Prince finished with 17 points, six rebounds and three steals. He didn’t shoot the ball well going 5-for-13 but was 2-for-4 from three-point range.
