Second match of the season, and second home success for Atlanta. The Hawks beat Charlotte 125-120 on Friday in the NBA, thanks in particular to Trae Young‘s 38 points.
Atlanta’s star guard pulled out all the stops, adding 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals. His 7 ball losses ultimately did not weigh heavily, even if Charlotte leader LaMelo Ball also shone: 34 points (9/16 at 3 points), 5 rebounds and 4 assists. But also 10 lost balls.
Present in the Hawks’ basic five, Clint Capela was entitled to limited playing time (22′), like Wednesday against the Nets. The Geneva interior, injured in an ankle nine days earlier in pre-season, accumulated 6 points (2/2 shooting, 2/2 free throws), 7 rebounds and 2 blocks for a differential of +4.
