Although it’s a positive note that Trae Young is listed as probable, it’s important to monitor his status for the upcoming game against the Wizards. The Hawks have faced challenges, particularly in their offense during a four-game losing streak, especially in the second half.
During a recent interview, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder addressed the team’s struggles, emphasizing the need for improved execution and mentality. He acknowledged missed opportunities in the fourth and third quarters, citing open looks, missed shots, and turnovers as contributing factors.
Clint Capela, the Hawks’ center, shared his candid thoughts on breaking out of the team’s slump and securing victories. He expressed frustration with losing and suggested that the team needs to communicate more, whether through conversation or intensity, to overcome their current difficulties.
