HAWKS POSTCAST: Are The Atlanta Hawks Morphing Into The NBA's Best 3-Point Shooting Team?

In the debut of newly-named Atlanta Hawks players CJ McCollum & Corey Kispert, Luke Kennard led by example with efficient perimeter shooting (22 points, 8/11FG, 6/9 3pt) on Sunday at Oracle Arena versus Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors. 

Despite 30+ points from both Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, 10 of the remaining 11 active players in action for the Warriors were held to single-digit scoring. ATL forced 16 turnovers, shot nearly 50% from the field, nearly concluded the game with double-digit steals and stayed under double-figures in turnovers. While Atlanta is among the top 5 in the NBA in 3-point percentage, are they slowly molding into the league's best in perimeter shooting considering the way the roster is currently being constructed? 

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste grade McCollum and Kispert's debut performances, address and assess the pros & cons, strengths & weaknesses of the first half of the season including the game's Turning Point and comment of the night.
