After their four victories in a row, the Hawks came back down to Earth against Nicolas Batum (11 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists) and the Clippers (121-98 defeat). Less dependent on the success of Trae Young than on their last games, the Hawks manage to better share the brand and wonderfully exploit the few offensive rebounds chips here and that.
