In this first game of the new calendar year our Atlanta Hawks took down one of the league's hottest and youngest teams, an uber-efficient Oklahoma City Thunder club that oozes with potential led by one of the NBA's brightest and fastest rising stars, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.Oklahoma City entered State Farm Arena on Wednesday evening with plenty of confidence after defeating a couple of the NBA's best, Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics last week.Coming off of an expected win on the road in the nation's capital versus the Washington Wizards, Atlanta was led by its backcourt duo Trae Young and Dejounte Murray whom pitched in 72 of its 130 points combined including Jalen Johnson's 24-point, 13-rebound performance while Clint Capela tied his season-high rebound total with 17.What made this win so impressive?Are the Atlanta Hawks growing before our eyes?What were the miscues that can turn this team around with minor corrections and adjustments?Tenitra Batiste and DeShaun Tate will provide analysis in recap form, the and-1 segment and of course a preview to Friday's matchup in Indianapolis versus maybe the NBA's most overachieving team and player entering the new year, Indiana Pacers & Tyrese Haliburton.#nba #truetoatlanta #atlantahawks #oklahomacitythunder #traeyougn #shaigilgeousalexander #jalenjohnsonSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.
