How do you get outscored 64 to 39 in the 2nd half? That is embarrassing.

I'm at a loss. I thought we were gonna beat the snot out of SAC when we were up by 20+ points eight minutes into the game.
Hawks took their foot off the gas and it all fell apart. It's clear the turmoil, rumors and adversity are effecting the guys.
The team is spiraling. And I don't know if a mid season trade actually salvages anything.
