FINAL: Hawks 134, Rockets 127. Jabari posts career-high 32p and 15 boards but Rockets terrible fourth quarter start is too much to overcome. Fred VanVleet goes for 32 and 15 dimes, Dillon Brooks adds 19p.
Ime sits Alperen Sengun for the final 6-7 minutes of the game. – 10:28 PM

Rockets have Şengün matched up on Hunter with Smith on Capela. That keeps Smith in a good rebounding spot and Şengün out of as much pick-and-roll coverage, but Hawks going to Hunter quite a bit early. – 8:19 PM

With Philly opting to put Tyrese Maxey on him, Jaden McDaniels being aggressive in his offensive game. Reminds me of that game last year when Atlanta tried to hide Trae Young on McDaniels, and McDaniels went at it right away. – 8:01 PM

Ime Udoka said Tari Eason “try it out and see how it feels”, so it sounds like he’s a game time decision, while Amen Thompson is “good to go” for tonight’s game, but he’s still a little under the weather – 6:32 PM
