I don't get it. I've seen other stars gather and take two steps and get the and 1 but Trae literally gets fouled as he's starting his shot and gets nothing. 

It's like the refs all agreed to call the fouls again bit not put him on the line for free throws.

Gwu is cold.... he knew that was good the whole way that he didn’t even look at the basket

[hawkman]

Good job by the bench to keep pace and even get the lead. 

[GameTime]

It is amazing how both Bogi and Gallo healthy completely changed our offensive identity.  

[SalvorMallow]

We have never had a Hawks team with this much shooting. Six different guys hit threes in the first quarter.

[Final_quest]

Raining 3’s!  Lou Will closed it out with a swish.  

42 points

6 assists for Trae

[TheNorthCydeRises]

What a crazy 1st quarter.  

Both teams exactly 15 - 22 FG

It's bad officiating for sure, but unfrtunately Trae brought that on himself. Nevertheless, it was DEFINITELY an and-1.

Has Kevin’s release gotten quicker?

On the low OO has a 121 offensive rating to a 110 defensive rating.  Excellent FT rate at .409 and a higher total rebound rate than John.  He’s settled into that second unit nicely.

[JayBirdHawk]

Lou to Gwu for the 2nd time.

[ATLHawks3]

Okongwu has been so impactful.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

This offense looks fantastic tonight.   Keep your foot on the gas,

[MaceCase]

Loving Gwu’s confidence, that mobility is real

You can almost hear his growth as an NBA player. He's been doing really well as of late.

An 8 point lead right now. Everyone is playing well. PLease keep this up.

It definitely seems like the league met and decided how to call Trae.  Lots of BS.

No, Kevin is just more decisive about his shot.  I think by watching how Bogi works, it has helped Kevin.

Totally agree about Okongwu. 

[BrazilianHawk]

Defense is working is the second quarter. Let's not spoil it with turnovers. 

[benhillboy]

Lemon Pepper Lou Top 10 All Time in Rim Love. 

[ATLHawks3]

Capela sometimes gets tunnel visioned when he posts up. Gotta learn how to pass out of the post too.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

If Capela makes that first layup that he missed, the Hawks go up by 10.

Instead, momentum has totally shifted and the game is tied.
