After three straight losses, Atlanta raised its head to Florida. The Hawks won 125-108 ahead of Orlando thanks in particular to a performance of choice from Clint Capela.
Author of a 9/10 in shooting, the Genevan scored 20 points and picked up 12 rebounds for his 11th double double of the season. Credited with a differential of +21, he was one of the great architects of this success.
Faced with a team that conceded a sixth consecutive defeat to record only 5 wins in 22 games, Atlanta quickly killed all suspense. The Hawks thus won the first quarter 38-27 to establish their superiority from the outset.
