Atlanta raised its head on Martin Luther King Day following two mortifying defeats. The pastor’s hometown team won 109-99 over San Antonio.
Trae Young was the man of the match with his 36 points which allowed him to pass the threshold of 10,000 points in the NBA. The leader, above all, made his first 6 3-point shots to allow the Hawks to widen the gap from the start, leading… 69-34 at the break.
After this cataclysmic first half, the Spurs had the merit of raising their heads following the break. “Silent” in the 1st period, Victor Wembanyama pulled out all the stops with his 26 points to allow his team to come back to 6 points (99-93).
Capela does the job
But the Hawks had to give a boost to sign their 16th victory of the season in 39 games. Facing the prodigy Wembanyama, Clint Capela delivered the goods. The Genevan signed his 17th double-double of the season with his 13 points and 11 rebounds for a differential of +8.
