Deluge of Turnovers

Speaking of turnovers, both teams combined for an immense 42 turnovers for the game, with the Atlanta Hawks barely taking the lead in that category with a lofty 22 turns for the entire team.

Led by Taurean Prince, who was off on this night regarding his decision-making and finished with a team-high 6 turnovers and Trae Young, who had his worst game so far of the young season and finished with 5 turnovers, the Hawks were booting the ball all over the court – which made for ugly viewing.

The Hawks are currently ranked second in the league with a sky-high 18.4 turnovers per game – the only team with a higher total is the Broolyn Nets with 19.2 turns per game.
