Missed the game and will be watching it in a few hrs but looking at the way this game played out this was an impressive comeback.

They would've absolutely ruin my Friday night if we lost to this team lol

Key Notes:

- Ingram team high +17
- 23/25 from FT line (only Mamu and IQ missed one)
- Best game of the season for IQ: 18p/6a/5r/3s
- Battle +11 in 6 minutes (counterpart Walter was -9 in 6 minutes)

This Hawks team is legit defensively though. They fought hard tonight.

Really great win, had our worst offensive half by far and we stormed back and made it a blow out by the end. Philly game might be a bit of a write off (still could win) but after that lots of winnable games to end the month. We got 2 games against the Nets/Hornets/Pacers and a game against the Wizards. Could realistically be 12-9 at the start of Decemeber. And i dont think the Knicks/Cavs/Sixers games are unwinable either. Gonna be interesting if we can win some of the tougher games. Could put us ahead of the 8 ball for a top 6 seed.

Not with that 1st half.

That's precisely what makes this win impressive.

If you said most impressive half I might agree. Hawks were ass in the 2nd half though, was a combo of good Raps and bad Hawks.

We just need the Bulls to come back down to earth.

Tonight was an example of "wins over stats".

Not every night are things going to go your way or you shoot well. So have to do the other things that help you win games.

And at years end if guys stats are a little lower due to better depth, that's OK....as long as the wins are there.

Brutal 1st half, but an incredible 2nd half. RJ and Scottie gave us nothing in the first 24 minutes, but they lead the charge in the 2nd half while Poeltl also had a bounce-back half. Great games from IQ and Mamu. Not a particularly great or efficient game from Ingram, but he hit a lot of shots when we needed points the most.

Love what the defence has done lately. 100.5 OPPG the last 4 games after giving up nearly 130 per game over the first 5. If this team can be an even average defence over the course of the season, we're going to be right there for HCA.

Quickley's numbers are starting to look better

He's waking up

Poeltl also was a loooooooooot better in the second half

They're kinda like the Raptors two years ago: the entire team is long lanky forwards with no proper pg or c

Our defense deserves credit too

they just need to improve the defense and they'll start winning games

last 4 wins they held the teams to 101, 104, 100, 97......that's much better than 118, 122, 139, 121, 139 (1-4 record)

Just need to win our Cup games and get to Vegas to bring a title home

I wonder if we’d hang a banner

I agree, but losing to this Hawk team without Tre Young would've been devastating. I could've accepted a revenge L if he was playing.

Yeah its really nice to pull out a win where everyone was playing poorly the first half. If you want to win lots of games you have to win some ugly games
