ATLANTA — With 8:12 left in the fourth quarter against the Timberwolves, Bruno Fernando took a pass from fellow Hawks rookie De’Andre Hunter behind the arc and quickly nailed a three-pointer to score a career-high 13 points.
The swish was the perfect way to break his prior 11-point mark, almost mocking those who have long said he can’t shoot from deep.
Though the Hawks lost 125-113, the former Terp finished with four rebounds, one steal, one block and one assist in addition to the 13 points on 5-for-6 shooting from the floor. He only played 17 minutes off the bench, but still was third on the team in scoring and the only Hawk to record both a block and a steal.
