The Atlanta Hawks are quietly on a three-game winning streak. Just a day after Trae Young was snubbed as an All-Star reserve, he responded with an exceptional performance, leading the Hawks to a victory over the Phoenix Suns.
Jusuf Nurkic opened the game with six points in the paint for the Suns, hinting at a potential challenge for the Hawks. However, he was limited to just eight points for the remainder of the game. Dejounte Murray, who shot 2-for-5 in the first quarter, scored the first basket for the Hawks but struggled to find his rhythm until the fourth quarter.
