HAWKS POSTCAST: All 5 Starters Record Double-Figure Scoring, As Atlanta Hawks Prevail In Bird Battle

Zaccharie Risacher, Luke Kennard, Dyson Daniels and now Mohamed Gueye are now on the consistent scoring uptick in recent games. On Wednesday at State Farm Arena, Atlanta added a number to the left result column with contributions from its starters (and bench) to limit New Orleans' road wins to two. 

The frontcourt play of Kristaps Porzingis and Mohamed Gueye was electric, specifically in the first half where ATL put away New Orleans before it started, holding Pels' star Zion WIlliamson scoreless, forcing 7 turnovers and applying defensive pressure on the perimeter ultimately holding the Pelicans to 16% shooting from distance. 

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste expound on Atlanta's interior defense emerging contributor Derik Queen, knowing how to win without earth-shattering performances from Nickeil Alexander-Walker & Jalen Johnson and a 1st Quarter Turning Point.
