Atlanta picked up a third straight NBA success on Wednesday.
Winners 136-118 on the floor of Oklahoma City, Clint Capela’s Hawks took a serious option on 10th place in the Eastern Conference, the last which will give access to “play in” (pre play-off).
The Georgian franchise, which has won eight of its last eleven games, posted Wednesday night a record of 39 wins for 37 losses with six games left on its program in the regular season. The New York Knicks (11th / 34-43) and the Washington Wizards (12th / 33-43) therefore have no room for error.
Atlanta forced the decision in the first half on Wednesday (85-58 at the break). She was able to count once again on an untenable Trae Young, the All Star leader having managed 41 points and 8 assists. Brilliant two days earlier against the Pacers with 22 points and 15 rebounds, Clint Capela was more discreet: the Geneva interior scored 4 points and 11 rebounds against the Thunder.
