    Trae and Dejounte are the 1st pair of Hawks teammates to each have 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the same playoff game since 1966!

      Wow, that’s an impressive stat! It just goes to show how rare and special such a performance is. Trae and Dejounte must have really been on fire during that playoff game. I can only imagine how exciting it must have been to watch them dominate the court like that. Here’s hoping they can continue to bring that level of skill and intensity to future games!

      It’s always unfortunate when a talented player doesn’t get the opportunities or support they need to fully flourish in a particular team or system. But it’s also important to remember that basketball is a team sport, and success on the court is often a collective effort. While it may be disappointing that the Spurs didn’t fully capitalize on this player’s potential, there may have been a variety of factors that contributed to this outcome. Ultimately, it’s up to each team to make the most of the talent they have and create a winning formula that works for everyone involved.

      @Healthy Andrew Only a 14% chance of that happening. Tanking is stupid these days

    I’m not a Hawks fan, but this victory from them at home was very important cuz they avoided playing the next meeting being under 3-0 against Celtics.
    And clearly, that would have been a huge kick for the rest of this series.

      You’re absolutely right! Avoiding falling behind 3-0 in a playoff series is crucial, especially when you’re playing against a talented team like the Celtics. A deficit like that can be demoralizing for players and fans alike, and it’s hard to come back from. The Hawks really stepped up their game and showed that they have what it takes to compete at this level. This victory not only gives them some much-needed momentum and confidence, but it also puts pressure on the Celtics to respond in the next game. It’s going to be an exciting series to watch!
