Atlanta seems to be marking time again in the NBA. The Hawks suffered their second straight loss on Sunday, the third in their last four games, losing 103-94 at Dallas.
The Georgian franchise once again lacked skill, returning only 5 of 25 3-point attempts. Its leader Trae Young (17 points, 11 assists) was particularly clumsy, not succeeding in any of his 6 armed shots from behind the arc.
Always limited in his playing time, the Geneva interior of the Hawks Clint Capela meanwhile accumulated 8 points and 9 rebounds in 20 ‘spent on the Texas floor. He has only exceeded 10 points once since returning from an ankle injury.
Dallas star Luka Doncic was the man of the match. The Slovenian leader scored another triple double with 18 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds. Jalen Brunson and Reggie Bullock meanwhile scored 22 points in the Mavericks camp.
