The Atlanta Hawks put together a strong 48-minute effort on Tuesday evening, only to fall to Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors. While the team did beat expectations (at least according to Las Vegas), it was Atlanta’s fifth consecutive loss and, on Thursday night, the Hawks face another very difficult challenge in the form of a road game against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
As previously noted in this space, the Hawks are in the midst of a brutal portion of their schedule and Thursday definitely presents a demanding situation.
