Atlanta picked up an expected win to kick off its season. On their floor, Clint Capela and his teammates beat Houston, the League dunce in 2021 and 2022, 117-107.
In a team that has changed its style of play with the contribution of Dejounte Murray, who now forms a remarkable maneuvering duo with Trae Young, Clint Capela will not keep a dazzling memory of his reunion with his old colors.
The Genevan only scored 2 points for a playing time of 26′. He grabbed 8 rebounds, but his differential of -1 underlines that his evening was rather laborious.
Dejounte Murray is already launched
With 20 points and 11 assists, Dejounte Murray did not miss his big first. The defector from San Antonio immediately found the right connection with Trae Young, credited with 23 points and 13 assists. This season, the great strength of the Hawks will really come from behind.
Elsewhere in the clash of the evening, Phoenix beat Dallas 107-105 after scoring 22 points – 67-45 – in the third quarter. Despite Luka Doncic’s 35 points, the Mavericks fell to a final basket from Damion Lee 9”7 from the buzzer.
