Leaving the French championship – which we will not name because it changes every twelve naming days – to dominate the floors of the NBA: this fate was that of Rudy Gobert, should have been that of Melvyn Govindy, and is that of Clint Capela. Currently in Olympic form, the Hawks’ interior has a series of impressive performances. Debrief.
The pretty house boxscore, it’s here
The time is the same as for Knicks – Pelicans, that is to say completely adapted to the Hexagon. On the one hand, the Hawks who remain on 7 wins in 9 games, due to a collective break-in finally over. Spurred on by their new coach – Nate McMillan – Tony Snells, Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Trae Young, John Collins and other Clint Capela play extremely well together. Each player is assigned, and rare are the talents that do not reveal themselves. Opposite, the Pacers land in Georgia with the firm intention of getting closer to the Top 8. Those who are now called money time plumbers regret this sad ninth place, totally out of step with a workforce yet well stocked. This observation will also animate the first half in which the Hawks easily dominate their opponents in the evening. Although it happens that the gap drops to a few units, the Falcons have the hand on the meeting. This first victory goes through a good fight in painting: Clint Capela does honor to Swiss rackets – Roger Federer & Stan Wawrinka – and bones Myles Turner. The former Elan Chalon combines offensive availability and defensive involvement, making life hard for his Rican counterpart. Then – without pressure – Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter send all these beautiful people back to the locker room, after some prowess from the seven meters (Atlanta Hawks 66 – 57 Indiana Pacers).

The second period is hopeful for the players of Indiana: Malcolm Brogdon is on a mission, TJ McConnell excels off the bench, and a discreet Domantas Sabonis facilitates the game of his family. In the dying minutes of the match, the Pacers will even come back to a level with the Hawks, forcing an adrenaline rush from the future winner. But when Trae Young is upset, it becomes very difficult to face him. Take the big shots from the point guard, add a flawless Clint Capela to the end, and don’t forget the great striker that is Domantas Sabonis, here we are: Hawks win. While we’re at it, let’s solve this problem of somewhat useless statistics: Clint Capela has 25 points, 24 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals, and becomes the first player since Dikembe Mutombo (2001) to drop several games in a season with a minimum of 20 points, 20 rebounds and 3 blocks. Special mention for the awkwardness of Trae Young, correctly compensated by a rhythmic presence in the game of his family, and transformed into skill in the key moments of the match. In the shadow of this victory, the pair of snipers Kevin Huerter – Bogdan Bogdanovic who compiled 10/18 from the parking lot. These performances allow the Hawks to take fourth place in the Eastern Conference, just ahead of the Celtics of our friend Vavane Fournier.

We love these big men’s performances, punctuated by statistics in their twenties. Just thinking about it, what happiness for those who will wake up tomorrow and open the NBA app to view the stats of the match: 25-24, it’s wonderful mash.
