The NBA regular season continued, with the East and West facing a strong and weak conversation, with the Hawks sitting at home to meet the Blazers.
As the big dark horse last season, the Hawks' defensive system collapsed this season, the team's record fell seriously, fortunately, Trae Young's state was hot, under his leadership, the team has recently recovered in form, ranking ninth in the East before the game, and still has the opportunity to squeeze the Nets back to the top eight.
On the Blazers side, the team chose to clean up the immediate battle power before the trade deadline and began to build a team around young players, but the result was miraculous, and the team was only 1 win away from the tenth pelicans before the game, and still hoped to qualify for the playoffs.
As soon as the game began, the Blazers rebounded, hitting two points first, and then Hart hit another three points to help the team build a 5-0 start.
The Home Games responded in time, with Hult scoring five consecutive points to help the team tie the score, after which the Hawks blossomed more and established a lead.
It wasn't until 5 minutes left in the first quarter that the Blazers regained their advantage, and then the two teams got into a fight, and the point difference was drawn many times, but the Blazers withstood the pressure and ended the first quarter with a five-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Blazers continued to be in shape, opening up the score further at the beginning of the quarter, and the Eagles narrowed the score at one point.
But since then, the Blazers have blossomed inside and outside, once again pulling the point difference apart, and the two teams have been pulling around the 9-point difference since then.
During the period, the Eagles repeatedly forced the point difference, but the Blazers always had someone to stand up to solve the problem, fortunately, the Eagles did not let the point difference be further widened, and at the end of the half, the Blazers still held a 9-point lead.
The Blazers continued to score inside, and the point difference was widened to double digits, and it was pulled to as many as 15 points with 9 minutes left in the third quarter.
After that, Trae Young suddenly exerted his strength, and he was omnipotent in the offensive end, while the Blazers were in a dud, and with 4 minutes left in the third quarter, with Trae Young's exaggerated offensive performance, the Eagles successfully completed the rebound.
Even so, the Blazers still did not get out of the offensive dilemma, the Hawks also successfully established a double-digit lead, fortunately the Blazers at the end of the quarter to recover, but the Eagles still ended the first three quarters with a 5-point lead.
Entering the final quarter of the competition, the Eagles continued the state of the second half of the third quarter, under the leadership of Trae Young, more blossoms, and has always occupied the advantage on the court.
But the Blazers did not give up, constantly setting off a wave of counterattacks, and has been eating into the point difference, with 5 minutes left in the game, at one point the point difference was close to only 1 point.
At this time, it was Trae Young who stepped forward to solve the problem, and finally the Hawks defeated the Blazers 122-113 to complete a 15-point reversal.
Throughout the game, Trae Young was naturally the biggest contributor to the Hawks' reversal, playing 39 minutes in a back-to-back situation, shooting 15 of 31, and bombarding a large double-double with 46 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists in an extremely efficient manner.
It is worth mentioning that in the last back-to-back game, Trae Young shot 13 of 20 and exploded 47 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
In this way, Trae Young exploded the exaggerated data of 93 points, 9 rebounds and 17 assists in two back-to-back games, leading the team to a strong three-game winning streak.
With this wave of three consecutive wins, the Hawks improved their record to 34 wins and 34 losses, just one win away from the Nets in front of them.
Considering that the Nets have only a few games in which Irving can play in the remaining games, it is still difficult for the Nets to sit in the top eight in the East.
Originally, the Blazers had the opportunity to narrow the gap between the team and the Lakers to 2 wins, and as a result, they lost the game, and the gap between the two teams returned to 3 wins, and for the Lakers, who are currently in extremely bad shape, this game undoubtedly made them a big winner.
