After a four-day break, the Atlanta Hawks returned to action on Tuesday evening and the on-court results were strong. Trae Young exploded in the second half to lead the team to a skid-busting victory and, while the suspension of John Collins looms over the next several weeks for the franchise, Atlanta’s play on the court has been encouraging to this point in the campaign. On Wednesday, the Hawks face a quick turnaround on the second night of a back-to-back, as Lloyd Pierce’s team will play host to the Chicago Bulls at State Farm Arena.
There are a number of story lines in the mix for Wednesday’s tilt, including the ongoing deployment of Atlanta’s rotation in Collins’ absence.
