In their last outing against the Hornets, despite a strong start with 31 points in the first quarter, the Hawks couldn't maintain momentum and fell short with 99 points against Charlotte's 122. A concerning statistic for Atlanta was their three-point shooting percentage which stood at a mere 24 percent. However, they showed proficiency from the free-throw line hitting 90 percent of their shots.


The game prior saw a better offensive output from Atlanta as they put up 126 points in a close contest against Chicago Bulls but still ended up on the losing side. Their two-point field goal percentage was impressive at 59 percent and they managed to convert on fast-break opportunities scoring 21 fast-break points.

Atlanta's most recent victory came against Houston Rockets where they scored an assertive win with a scoreline of 122-113. The team showed defensive prowess by blocking eight shots and stealing seven times while also maintaining efficiency from both field goals and free throws.


Looking ahead, Utah Jazz presents another challenge as Atlanta aims to improve its record. Consistency has been an issue for Hawks; however, playing in front of their home crowd could provide that extra push needed for victory.
