Much venting has been done by both pundits and fans alike since Wednesday’s home loss at the hands of the New York Knicks. The airing of grievances has happened and the team must come together quickly and focus on putting forward better performances across all 4 quarters of the game. You don’t ever want to say a team is chasing a must win in November, but keeping things brutally honest, this is a must win game to put the brakes on a losing streak and to keep the team above .500 heading into December.
The Hawks come into the game off a loss to the Toronto Raptors 124-108, Jeremy Lin highlighted off the bench in that one with an impressive 26 point performance including 4-5 from beyond the arc.
