Atlanta celebrates twice and Cleveland is its main victim

Victory for the Hawks in Atlanta to calm down somewhat the heated spirits in the franchise for a few days. Nate McMillan was fired as coach on Monday, Joe Prunty is now acting on an interim basis, and winning the Cavaliers has been the culmination of a night in which the negotiation to have a new boss on the bench has advanced almost definitively. Quin Snyder, formerly of the Jazz, is expected to take over that position immediately. He will come to a franchise positively, because of the sensations and not because of the qualifying balance of 30-30with obvious talent in the hands of his players and, in the same way, an alarming lack of management that he will have to fix right away.

The coup de effect was taken by the Cavaliers, who arrived warned. Those from Bickerstaff end up here a back-to-back that yields two defeats, yesterday once morest the Nuggets in Cleveland and this one, following the All-Star break. But this 136-119 it stings especially. In Georgia they lost to a direct rival from the conference, although they are eight ahead of them in the standings, and the pace may have slowed. And in Atlanta now there is sustained jubilation: on the one hand, a piece of value has been added, Saddiq Bey, who was being wasted on the Pistons, who are another song away, but on the other, the arrival of Quin Snyder will be analyzed as proof of the added value brought by Trae Young as a leader.

Ricky Rubio had been reserved in the first part of this double and this Friday he had 2 points, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 rebound in 12 minutes as a substitute. Of the backcourt Darius Garland was better, with 33 points, and Donovan Mitchell worse, with only 19. The aforementioned Trae Young was the top scorer of the game with 34 points. It is the worst defeat of the course for the Cavs, a -17 and made up at the end, and Elias Sports Bureau also adds that they entered the game with the best defensive ratio in the entire NBA. A rather abrupt slip for those from Ohio, who did not see themselves at any time willing to hunt this victory at home. The Hawks’ scoring rate was higher from the opening quarter and in the second they endorsed the opponent with 49, adding 81 in the first half, so everything was painted in the intense red of the local team. The Cavaliers’ defense was exhausted in their second effort in 24 hours: they gave up 53% accuracy on 3-pointers and up to 59% on field goals to the Hawks who were able to savor this victory.
