On Friday night, the Atlanta Hawks fell to the Utah Jazz 128-112 for their second loss in a row.

In the Atlanta Hawks 128-112 loss to the Utah Jazz, some great things took place. Head coach Lloyd Pierce continued to make the franchise proud, praising Jazz center Rudy Gobert for his recent play. Pierce went on to say Gobert should definitely be an All-Star, a generally nice (and also true) thing to say amid the controversy of many players around the league mocking him for shedding tears when discussing the snub.

Gobert was a major difference maker in this matchup, finishing the game 7/7 from the field, for a 25-point, 13-rebound double double.

Trae Young continued his great play coming off of his Rookie of the Year award for January.

Young went off for 28 points and 9 assists, joining some great company with the performance.

Kevin Huerter continued to show why Red Peppers are so hot (because they can shoot from 3, duh), and the Hawks’ wings showed signs of life, with Taurean Prince showing that perhaps is ready for an increase in his workload.
