For the Atlanta Hawks, forward/guard Kent Bazemore is playing some of the best basketball I have ever seen him play. Kent has been getting it done on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, his play just did not result in a team win on Wednesday night. Bazemore led the team in scoring finishing with 25 points on (8-11) shooting. Off the bench, sharpshooter Marco Bellinelli finished with 22 points. Dennis Schroder added 13 points and Hawks rookie John Collins added 12 points.
The Hornets currently stand at (21-29). The Atlanta Hawks are currently (15-36). The Hawks will hit the road as they will be back in action on Friday night in Boston against the Boston Celtics.
