There were positive developments everywhere Wednesday, including hanging tight for 47-plus minutes with a team that reached the NBA’s “Final Four” last season. Ultimately, New Orleans didn’t have quite enough to finish off an upset vs. Atlanta.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Brandon Ingram missed a tough mid-range jumper down by a point, which resulted in Atlanta gaining possession out of bounds. The Hawks got the ball to Trae Young with 1.2 seconds left, who sank two free throws to create the final margin. Devonte’ Graham fired up a shot from beyond halfcourt that caromed off the glass at the buzzer.
