While the result wasn’t what you wanted, the Hawks showed an identity they can embrace to survive without Young
The Atlanta Hawks lost their second game of the season to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night, 109-117, moving to 3-4 on the season. This was the team’s second game without Trae Young, who sprained his MCL last Wednesday. The Cavaliers were also shorthanded, playing without Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen.
The Cavaliers’ complete lack of offensive identity without Donovan Mitchell on the floor allowed the Hawks to stay in the game.
