The Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets are set for battle in the second game of the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament. The Brooklyn Nets punched their ticket to the Play-In on Tuesday evening with a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who will host the winner of the Hawks-Hornets game on Friday for the rights to the No. 8 seed.
The Hawks and Hornets split their season series 2-2, though this one-game scenario will likely be played in much different fashion than a regular season affair. What the regular season can tell us is that both of these teams excel on the offensive end of the court.
