Nice win.
Rivers and Quicks have been a nice tandem. I thought Rivers could be helpful this year as he has some passing/ballhandling chops. Helps the rook PG.
RJ Barrett is just consistently very good. Love what he brings. Outplayed Bo's guy DeAndre.
Seemed about even to me and by the stats (RJB played 7 more mins).
Hunter looked pretty poised.
While the problem with RJB is that he isn't consistent.
Hell, in this game, he was 0-4 on 3's before hitting a big late 3.
2nd, 4th & 5th game this year RJB really struggled.
He had a 4 game stretch of 0-21 on 3's.
His
effort is consistently good.
He does a lot of good energy stuff. His defense is a bit up and down. But he's a pup.
Knox was looking like a disaster, with bad fouls and such, then popped a pair of late 3Q 3's that got the Knix back in it. Key shots. Hawks were largely leaving Knox open to help and he made them pay late 3rd.
Randle & Barrett leading the league in minutes. Yeah, we have some guys out, but that needs to come down.
I liked how Rivers was a having a tough time guarding Trae, but then got an offensive foul on Young late.
Game of runs. Knix opened up a 10 Pt 1Q lead, and in an eyeblink Hawks were up 2 with a 14-2 outburst.
Impressive Knix can win with their starters unable to hit 3's (1-12 in this game).
Knix have been boarding quite well. Randle and RJB this one. Mitch was big last one.
Cam Reddish doesn't really have his game together yet.
Huerter missed some pretty good looks.
