John Collins Scores Team-High 23 Points
4 years agoAtlanta Hawks power forward John Collins led the team's offense in Wednesday's meeting with the Hornets, finishing a 102-94 loss with a team-high 23 points on 9-for-16 shooting. He added 11 rebounds to record his third double-double of the season while going 5-for-7 at the line. Clint Capela also had a big game on the glass with 19 rebounds. Kevin Huerter was Atlanta's second-best scorer with 19 points in a game where Trae Young produced a real dud with only seven points and three assists. Young can quickly redeem himself, as the Hawks will face the Hornets again on Saturday. Charlotte has produced the third-worst defensive record against opposing power forwards this season, so Collins will be in a great spot for another good performance.
