The Atlanta Hawks pulled off a wild second half rally Friday night erasing a 20-point deficit before falling late thanks to an Isaiah Thomas dagger with just 2.4 seconds remaining.
The loss snapped Atlanta’s seven-game winning streak and dropped them 2.5 games behind the Celtics in the standings but there were plenty of positives that they can take from this game and hopefully build on in the future.
“To come back from....we were in a pretty big hole there....that group kind of found a way to, defensively and offensively, give ourselves a chance,” Mike Budenholzer told reporters after the game.
