The Hawks looked like they were cruising to a home win last night vs the Charlotte Hornets, but a wild fourth quarter saw the Hornets erase an 18-point deficit and come back and defeat the Hawks. Charlotte spoiled the return of Trae Young and the final home game of the regular season for Atlanta.
It was apparent from the start of the game however that head coach Quin Snyder and the Hawks were thinking big picture when it came to this game yesterday. Dejounte Murray, De'Andre Hunter, Jalen Johnson, and Wesley Matthews sat out yesterday's game. Young was on a minutes restriction and played around 20 minutes, along with Bogdan Bogdanovic and Clint Capela.
