Trae praised the Pelicans’ wing defenders and said the Pelicans were sagging in close to stop the roll man.
And a good sum-up:
“The guy who had to guard two (on the weak side) did a good job of picking the right one.” – 8:39 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks fought back but lose to the Pelicans, 117-112, sliding back under .500 at 35-36.
Gallo: 27 pts (11-21 FG, 3-9 from 3, 2-2 FT), 5 reb, 3 ast
Trae Young: 21 pts (5-14 FG, 3-5 from 3, 8-8 FT), 10 ast, 5 reb, 7 TO
Bogi: 21 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast, 3 TO – 8:22 PM Mike Prada @MikePradaNBA
The ability to duck under a ball screen and then surge out to stop the pull-up three is an incredibly valuable NBA skill in 2022. Trae Young is NOT used to defenders doing this to him. pic.twitter.com/VRnnfc1trW – 8:19 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Hawks got the stop they needed, but the Pelicans grab the OREB.
Trae fouls Alvarado and he makes both FTs.
Hawks down 116-112 with 11 seconds to go – 8:16 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Trae missed a fadeaway in the lane on one end.
Jose Alvarado drives inside for a layup on the other end.
Hawks down 114-110 with 48 seconds to go – 8:13 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
A very fast PNR from Trae to Capela – very nice execution there to tie the game – 8:13 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Deeeeeep 3 for Trae.
Tied up here in Atlanta with 1:50 to go – 8:10 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Back-to-back 3’s, then an assist on a Gallo 3 and a Hunter layup for Trae Young to start the second half, after a rough first half.
Hawks’ deficit is down to six – 7:24 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks have seven turnovers with 3:49 still to play in the first quarter.
Trae Young has four turnovers. – 6:27 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
With 4:12 left in 1Q, Trae Young has 4 turnovers and Kevin Huerter has 2 to Jose Alvarado.
A lot of Trae’s have been when he draws two defenders and tries to swing it, but he keeps feeding the lone defender on the weak side. – 6:26 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Herb Jones starts as the first defender on Trae Young. – 6:10 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner

Tough game. Sometimes the ball just goes in for the other guy.
A hell of a bounce-back this team made after starting the season 4-7 and finishing 20-12. Will miss what Trae Berhow and Tywhon Pickford brought this program every single night. As always, #EverLoyal – 10:52 PM
