The Atlanta Hawks (15-15) picked up a much needed 125-106 win over the Charlotte Hornets (7-22) on Friday night. The Hornets contested for the lead in the third quarter after falling down big early, but the Hawks were able to turn on the jets and hang on for the victory. Atlanta snapped a four-game road losing streak with the win.
Trae Young led the way for Atlanta with 31 points and nine assists in the winning effort, and he started this game out playing really well despite his recent struggles from the field.
Bogdan Bogdanovic made his first start of the season as the Hawks altered their starting lineup in their first game without Clint Capela.
