Awkward! Trae Young with Double-Digit Turnovers & Frontcourt Turnovers, Hawks Suffer First Loss of the Season

On October 28, the NBA regular season continued, with the Hawks losing 104-128 to the Thunder on the road, suffering their first loss of the season. The Hawks started the season with two consecutive wins, but their opponents were not very strong. In this game against the Thunder, the Hawks maintained control in the first half, leading by as many as 10 points at one point. However, the Thunder began to catch up towards the end of the second quarter and completed the comeback in the third quarter. The Hawks collapsed in the final quarter, with the lead being extended to over 20 points at times. Ultimately, the Hawks lost to the Thunder on the road, suffering their first defeat of the season. Trae Young, who had recorded 30+10 data in the first two games, struggled under the Thunder’s tight defense, shooting 7-of-14 from the field and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line for 24 points and 8 assists. Although his stats looked decent, he committed 10 turnovers, more than half of the team’s total (19). His performance under high-intensity defense remains a significant issue. In the first three games of the season, Trae Young has committed a total of 20 turnovers. Top draft pick Shaedon Sharpe made his first start, playing 27 minutes, shooting 6-of-12 for 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, filling up the stat sheet, and scoring in double digits for the first time.
