The Atlanta Hawks entered Thursday night’s tilt against the Oklahoma City on a six-game winning streak and with the expectation to extend that positive run against an inferior opponent. In pleasing fashion, the Hawks dominated the proceedings, leading by double figures for the vast majority of the evening, and Atlanta won its seventh straight contest by a final score of 116-93.
Atlanta took control from the opening tip, racing to a 19-6 run. The Hawks scored 12 straight points, and Trae Young had it going as both a scorer and a passer. Young made his first three jumpers, setting the tone for what was to come.
