Jalen Johnson: B
Stats: 32 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and three steals
While Johnson had a solid performance overall, his main issue was his lack of three-point shooting: he went 0/5 from beyond the arc and turned the ball over four times. While this brought the teams close in the fourth quarter, the Hawks were able to win, and Johnson dominated for the most part.
CJ McCollum: A-
Stats: 23 points, five assists, two steals, and one block
McCollum turned in another high-scoring night off the bench, which is what Atlanta brought him in to do. He was wildly efficient and got to his spots with ease in both the mid range and three-point range.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker: C+
Stats: 14 points, four assists, three rebounds, three steals
Offensively, Alexander-Walker struggled with shooting the basketball as he 36% from the field and 28% from three-point range. However, he finished among the top five scorers for the Hawks and played a much-needed defensive role for them, despite his shot not falling as efficiently.
Onyeka Okongwu: C
Stats: eight points, nine rebounds, and two assists
Okongwu played a solid game for Atlanta, shooting the ball efficiently from the field. From three point range, he wasn’t himself as he went 0/3 and nearly fouled out with five fouls.
Dyson Daniels: B-
Stats: 15 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal
Daniels made a huge impact tonight, in a way we don’t usually see from him: offensively, scoring 15 points on 58% shooting from the field. His free-throw and three-point shooting, however, remain a problem, as he missed both three-point attempts and made one of his three free-throw attempts. Defensively, Daniels continues to dominate on that end as he made Maxey shoot 34% from the field and 36% from three-point range.
