The Atlanta Hawks lost 109-126 to the Charlotte Hornets, with Trae Young scoring 28+5+9.
Today's biggest upset in the NBA was the Atlanta Hawks' home defeat by the Charlotte Hornets.
The Hawks are on a two-game winning streak, and the Hornets not only lost last season's forward powerhouse Miles Bridges (facing a domestic violence lawsuit), but also the team's core guard "three-shot" LaMelo Ball is also out injured.
But the Hornets played extremely well in the game, with a double-double of six on the team, Oubre with a team-high 24 points and 10 rebounds, and the team's "iron bench" third-year center Nick Richards scored a double-double of 20 points and 11 boards on 9-of-9 shooting, a career high.
The Hawks, on the other hand, collectively did not feel good, Trae Young scored 28 points, 5 boards and 9 assists on just 9-of-25 shooting, and the team shot only 8 of 35 from the three-point line, shooting 22.9%. The team had no choice but to swallow the first regular season loss of the new season.
Both teams are currently tied for third place in the East with 2 wins and 1 loss.
