Atlanta failed to chain a second consecutive success Saturday in the NBA.
Winners 137-132 of the Thunder three days earlier, Clint Capela’s Hawks lost 120-113 to the Los Angeles Clippers to suffer a third loss in their last four games.
The Geneva pivot did the job by accumulating 12 points and 13 rebounds to sign his 20th double double of the season, the 242nd in total. Also author of 2 assists and 2 interceptions, he finished this game – in which Atlanta scored 62 points in the racket once morest 32 for the Clippers – with a differential of 0.
But the Hawks, who once once more posted a balanced record (25 wins-25 losses), were singularly lacking in skill in their distance shooting. They returned only 47.4% of their shots (45/95), with a sad 7 of 27 from 3 points. The Kawhi Leonard Clippers (32 points) made 19 award-winning baskets – out of 39 attempts – to pick up their fifth consecutive victory.
