Second loss by few points, against a direct opponent in the record column. Two games that they should have won, and be ahead of both opponents (and tied at 4th spot).
Don't be fooled by the 28pts of Oubre, he was not a problem, they had no defense with him and ATL dominated the most with him on the floor. The problem was the bench, especially Martin and Washington.
ATL starters were good on offense, TLC included he was better than in the previous game, but the defense of this team...

I don't know what to think first, if it's a matter of having to many injured players (CHA were without Ball, Rozier, McDaniels and Plumlee), or if it's time to burn these Yellow jerseys that they wore these last two games

Losing to a Charlotte team without LaMelo...losing ona night we score 125+ points?

Awful.

Hawks won the battle in the paint by scoring 50 to the Hornets 36, but that was about all we did positive.

Defense - they didn't play any.

The question is "Why ?" Especially against a team with almost the same record.
Did they think they wouldn't need to defend that much because CHA were missing some good players ?

Missing Hunter, Reddish, Bogi on the wings. Hornets forcing Capela to defend the perimter instead of roaming the basket.
