Another last second game winner!

Ugly ass win but I’ll take it…

[JayBirdHawk]

Bey struggled from 3 but did everything else.

26 points (10-15 freethrows), 13 rebounds 7 ORebs with the biggest one on the game winner), 3 assists.

I value offensive boards highly (so do metrics) so I never sh%t on Bey but I totally understand the hate he gets.  Even amidst poor shooting you’re gonna get the same high energy.

Starting unit saved the bench tonight, who managed  7 fouls and 10 points.  Hawks creeping up on a record I believe in terms of games with 4 player double doubles.  Shouldn’t have been as close as it was but they needed this win badly and got it.  Most importantly Trae’s floater looked better than it has in some time even on misses.

Free throws, bunnies and floaters.  And I don’t even know what to call that 2nd to last possession.  That’s a new one.

Funny thing at the end of that vid....

For a dude sabotaging his way out, he sure looks awful happy with the win and for his dudes. Just sayin

[NBASupes]

Proud we got the dub. I was mad when I watched the game early too

Yeah, he looked like his was in pretty good spirits the whole game.  Adding to the mystery.

“Trae when he shifts off the ball, he has great anticipation…his activity is very important to us, he knows he is not going to block a shot, but him taking charges is a way he can impact the game.”

Coach Quin on Trae Young’s ability to take a charge

[Phunkabilly]

Think all we gotta do to get a decent wing on the Hawks is to figure out a way to fuse the best parts of Dre and Bey together.
