Hornets -- SB NationHornets and Hawks battle for supremacy in the Southeast division
Can Jalen McDaniels and Miles Bridges keep up their recent stellar play?
It’s a battle between two Southeast division heavyweights as the Hornets face the Hawks. The standings atop the division couldn’t be closer between the division-leading Hornets at 27-24, the second place Hawks at 28-25, and the third place Heat a half game behind at 27-25. Not only does this game have implications about who might win the division (which is ultimately meaningless, but it’s fun to have bragging rights), it may also factor heavily into which of these two teams makes the playoffs.
This will be the third and final meeting between Charlotte and Atlanta this year. The Hornets won both of the previous contests which took place back in January. Gordon Hayward dropped 44 points in the first match-up. In the second contest LaMelo Ball posted a 22-point, 12-rebound, 11-assist triple-double.
While the Hornets will be without Gordon Hayward, LaMelo Ball, and Malik Monk, they will be facing a Hawks team that is also depleted by injuries.Spoiler:

Good grief! This is getting ridiculous, and this is a much needed win to maintain our spot in the standings.

I knew to be duped by that 1st quarter, despite who's in or out..
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point.

This just in. We can compete with anyone. One of the best wins of the season. Travis built a tank. Bogi is just... amazing. Goodwin played his heart out. Capela is a consistent beast, his defense has improved beyond expectations. Character building win on the road. Keep it up Hawks.
