A good month from the end of the regular season, it is better not to calculate too much. Every victory is good to take for the Atlanta Hawks, posted in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, the last qualifier for the play-ins. So the 130-124 success against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night is not insignificant.
Especially after a badly started first half of the match. The Hawks were led by 7 points before overturning the game. Under the impetus of the essential Trae Young, author of 39 points and 13 assists.
Even if Clint Capela also contributed significantly, reigning over the racket: 11 rebounds, including 9 defensive, as well as 12 points scored. Without forgetting 3 assists. It’s better than his last two outings, but less impressive than that of last week, against the same Bulls (he had then taken 17 rebounds). Except that, this time, the Hawks had bowed.
In the other highlights of the American night, Kevin Durant made his return to competition, after a sprained knee which deprived him of the last 21 meetings. If Brooklyn lost 109-107 against the Miami Heat, Durant signed a nice record of 31 points. Even if the big man of the evening has necessarily been Luka Doncic who, with 41 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, paid himself or almost the scalp of Golden State (122-113).
