Key contributors were inactive on both sides in a meeting between the defending world-champion Oklahoma City Thunder and the Atlanta Hawks who unfortunately has the tall task of an early scheduled back end of a back-to-back. 

While DeShaun Tate elaborates on why statistics played no part in the Hawks' loss, Tenitra Batiste shares why the perimeter was good and bad for ATL on Saturday. 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren combined for 61 points to remain unbeaten.
