The Hawks squander a 23 point first half lead and find themselves down in the fourth quarter in Houston. The starters - Trae, Danilo, Kevin, John, and Tony - executed down the stretch to bring the Hawks' win streak to six! The Rockets ride strong performances from Victor Oladipo, Kevin Porter Jr., and Jae'Sean Tate to make the game close, but run out of gas in the final quarter.

The Hawks push their winning streak to five beating the Cavs 100-82. Without their two top centers - Capela and Okongwu - the Hawks tried Fernando and Knight. Nathan Knight did not let this opportunity pass. The 23 year old rookie brought the energy the Hawks were looking for with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 MONSTEROUS jam on Jarrett Allen. After torching the Hawks the last two meetings, Collin Sexton was limited to 15 points and could not stifle a 20-2 run to start the 4th quarter from the Hawks.

A huge second quarter from the Hawks, where they outscored the Kings 39-18, builds a lead the Hawks are able to hold onto against the Kings. Strong performances off the bench from Rajon Rondo and Danilo Gallinari help the Hawks as they recover from a big first quarter from the Kings. De'Aaron Fox, 32 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Richaun Holmes, 20 points and 12 rebounds, pace the Kings but are not enough to overcome the 37-21 difference in scoring from the benches.

The Hawks looked like a team that had played the night before in the first half, and the Magic were aggressive attacking the Hawks in the paint. The Magic used some hot shooting of their own to build a 61-42 lead at halftime but it would not hold.

The Hawks avenge their 99-109 loss to the Heat on Sunday night with a stifling 94-80 win on Tuesday. After being held in check for the first 3 quarters, Trae Young hits three straight three pointers and a floater to power the Hawks past the Heat. In a slog of a game - the Heat's 2-3 zone seemed to again flummox the Hawks to the tune of 23 turnovers, the Hawks' bench also chipped in as Bogdan Bogdanovic returned with 5 points and 4 assists. 

Forrest also discusses the dismissal of Coach Lloyd Pierce on Monday.

The Hawks look uninspired in a 109 -118 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Clint Capela and John Collins hold down the paint, but strong performances from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Lu Dort, and Darius Bazely help the Thunder build a lead they would not relinquish. Kevin Huerter's monster jam is a sole highlight for the Hawks as they get away from the paint and allow a poor shooting night from three doom them.
