Why Quin Snyder Says Hawks’ Worst Nightmare Is Missing in Celtics’ Insane 52-Point Quarter
You ever wonder if basketball halves come with a “difficulty setting”? Because the Atlanta Hawks must be playing on “Nightmare Mode” lately. Twice in their last three games, they’ve handed over a whopping 80 points in just one half—first to a barrage of Lakers shooters who seemed to have laser-guided aim, then to Sam Hauser of the Celtics, who basically turned halftime into a three-point shooting clinic, sinking seven of eight attempts before the Hawks even blinked. By the time the buzzer sounded for the half, Atlanta was staring up at an 82-51 deficit. Ouch. The question isn’t just how the Hawks keep losing leads—they’ve got to figure out how to stop getting steamrolled like this defensively. It’s clear from coach Quin Snyder’s remarks and players’ reflections that the team’s still trying to find its footing amidst new faces and a grueling schedule. But the real kicker? They haven’t practiced much since the season’s start. So, can they flip the script before the avalanche keeps rolling? Let’s dig in. LEARN MORE.
