The Atlanta Hawks are now on a 6-game consecutive losing streak after being humbled yet again by the Indiana Pacers whom has scored 157 points on Atlanta for the second time this season and winning all four meetings, averaging 147 points. To add insult to injury, the Pacers tallied 86 first half points, tying the franchise record.

Adding fuel to the fire, Indy has scored 140+ points 11 times this season, an NBA record but there was some optimism worth noting despite an embarrassing 42-point loss as Hawks guard Trae Young has now surpassed Doc Rivers for most assist in franchise history. 

Does Sunday's outcome discourage or encourage you more/less as it relates to Wednesday's play-in matchup versus the Chicago Bulls?

How impressive was Mouhamed Gueye's 19-point, 9-rebound performance and could he be an x-factor or "secret weapon" for the games/seasons ahead?

Of the four, Onyeka Okongwu, Saddiq Bey, Jalen Johnson and Clint Capela, who's contributions will be missed or needed most for postseason play?
