The Hawks suffered a 115-114 loss after controlling most of the game. Some of this can be attributed to Snyder’s preference for resting his players, rather than playing Young, Bogdanovic, and Capela until the final buzzer.
Trae Young would return to the starting lineup for the first time in six weeks to play the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. This would be the final home game of the regular season. While Young entered the lineup, Johnson, Hunter, and Murray were added to the injury report.
After starting down 14-7, the Hawks used an 8-0 run to take a 16-14 lead after a timeout from Quin Snyder.
