The birds and the bees meet once again, with Atlanta continuing their push for the playoffs and Charlotte continuing to, um, finish their season. Trae Young made his return after a one-game absence, and Caris LeVert would later do the same off the bench.
The Hawks were active on defense and managed to come up with a number of timely deflections early. Dyson Daniels does just this with a chase down block, and he even rewarded himself with two points for that effort:

However, Charlotte soon found it too easy to get inside and score, and with that the Hawks faced an early deficit.
