The Hawks lost to the Jazz 98-116, with Trae Young scoring 8-of-20 and 0-of-4 three-point range with 21 points and seven assists.
After the game, Trae Young said teammates should learn to sacrifice: "I think the players are learning, we are no longer chasers. I don't want to lie, it's the regular season and it's going to be a lot more boring than the playoffs. So you have to find incentives to play every night like the playoffs, to play like we did last year. I remember we kept saying last year that we wanted to play every game like a playoff. I think we forgot about it, everybody plays for rhythm, everybody wants to take the ball and find form. That's fine, but it doesn't matter if we don't win. I need to play like I did in last year's playoffs, and we'll do it, and we'll find the answer. ”
"We have a lot to play and a lot of people feel they deserve playing time. We're going to figure it out. We have to figure out the rotation, who fights and who doesn't. Who will sacrifice for the team to win. Winning is good for everyone. ”
