Zaccharie Risacher has finally earned Quin Snyder's trust

To begin the year, Coach Snyder has capped Zaccharie Risacher's 4th quarter minutes for one reason or another. In the last pair of games, however, the youngster has carved out a role in the clutch that will be difficult for his teammates to circumvent.

Zaccharie Risacher was absolutely cold-blooded against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.

In addition to playing a very defensively sound 4th quarter that helped to stifle any hopes of a Cavalier comeback, Risacher drilled a corner three with a minute to go in regulation that broke the neck-and-neck battle, putting the Hawks up 126-123, ultimately securing the victory for Atlanta.
