Forrest talks about the Hawks 132 - 121 win over the Toronto/ Tampa Bay Raptors. Strong three point shooting powers the Hawks 104 point explosion in the final three quarters as the Hawks are able to break the Raptors 3 game winning streak this season and the Raptors 10 game winning streak over the Hawks. Trae Young drops 28 points and 13 assists in his first win against the Toronto basketball club and all of the Hawks starters score in double digits.

Forrest talks about the Hawks 91-112 loss to the Utah Jazz. The Hawks are unable to generate much offense without Trae Young.

Forrest talks about the Hawks 116 - 122 loss to the Mavericks. The Mavericks denied Trae the ball from the start of the game and the Hawks were unable to finish a comeback in the fourth quarter. Strong play from Kevin Huerter (21 points, 10 ast) and John Collins (career high 35 points, 12 rebounds) helped the Hawks keep the game close and Danilo Gallinari (19 points) off the bench was fantastic. 

Tim Hardaway Jr. scorched the Hawks from deep (5 three pointers) and Luka's 14 assists helped the Mavericks stay just a head of the Hawks. The Hawks were able to make it a one possession game with 42 seconds left but a Porzingis put back on the subsequent possession sealed the win for the visiting Mavs.

Forrest talks about the Hawks 99 -107 loss to the reigning NBA champions, the LA Lakers. Despite strong performances from Trae, John, and Clint, the Hawks are unable to get the win. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the Lakers bench do enough down the stretch to hold off a Hawks comeback.

Forrest talks about the Hawks 128-132 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The Hawks got 4 20+ point performances but it was not enough to knock off the Nets on the second night of a back to back. Forrest talks about the big games from Trae, De'Andre, Cam, and Collins while also looking at the performances from the Nets Big 3. He also talks about the Nets going after Trae on defense and the Hawks' decision to take Capela off the floor at the end of the 4th and throughout overtime.

The Hawks got Trae and Clint back to face a Kawhi and PG - less Clippers team. The Clippers slowed the game down in the first half, but the Hawks were able to build a lead in the third quarter behind 14 from Young. Kevin Huerter shook off a poor performance in the first 3 periods to go 5-5 in the 4th and help the Hawks fight off the Clippers. John Collins put up (or should I say sent back) 5 blocks and De'Andre Hunter continued his strong play with 22 points and 4 ast.


Forrest also remembers Hawks and NBA writer Sekou Smith.
