It’s a blowout Tuesday indeed.
Four teams dominated at home headlined by Josh Giddey’s individual brilliance for the Bulls in Chicago and the Trae Young-led Atlanta Hawks seemingly playing their best basketball of the season.
HAWKS KEEP SOARING; PAYTON PRITCHARD STAYS SOLID FOR CELTICS
- Atlanta Hawks (11-11) def. New Orleans Pelicans (4-18), 124-112: Another well-balanced effort paved the way for a season-high fourth straight victory for the Hawks at the expense of the Pelicans.
- Dime Dolla: Trae Young, who is the league leader in assists this season at 12.2 per game, finished with 15 dimes more on top of 12 points. It was his 15th double-double of the season while De'Andre Hunter celebrated his 27th birthday with a team-high 22 points. Seven Hawks players reached double-digit outings as Atlanta are now just two games back of the fourth-ranked New York Knicks.
