The Atlanta Hawks are undefeated no more. After a 2-0 start to the season, Atlanta ran into a buzzsaw last night in Oklahoma City and lost to the Thunder 128-10
4. Now, it was a close game for three quarters , but a dominant fourth quarter from one of the NBA's best teams gave the Hawks their first loss.
Trae Young had 24 points and eight assists last night vs OKC, but he also had 10 turnovers. The Thunder had a lot of different defenders to throw at Young and give him problems, but he is facing the worst defense in the league tonight. Young should be able to carve up the Wizards. It was another tough night for Jalen Johnson, adding to what has been a tough start to his season. Johnson scored seven points on 3-13 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds. It is by no means time to panic yet, but Johnson has not started off as strong as many predicted. Playing the Wizards can cure all though and it could be a get right game for him.
