Los Angeles Clippers at Atlanta Hawks Preview
Preview
The Atlanta Hawks took their first of two matchups against the Los Angeles Clippers less than three weeks ago. Atlanta blew a 17-point lead, falling behind by as much as 11 points, before rallying back to win the road game.
Since then, both teams have won the majority of their games. However, Los Angeles has been streaking, riding a four-game winning streak into tonight's game at State Farm Arena.
Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are reminding basketball fans what they can accomplish when healthy as the team has risen to fifth in the Western Conference standings. Los Angeles' offense is still a work in progress, but their ninth-best defensive rating has helped them win close games.
Meanwhile, Atlanta has been uncharacteristically sloppy as of late. Trae Young and Dejounte Murray have scored 20+ points in six of the last seven games, but they have also turned the ball over at a higher rate. Plus, Atlanta's defense has taken a step back.
Atlanta has snapped several opponents' winning streaks in State Farm Arena this season; let's see if they can add Los Angeles to that list.
