With both teams entering Thursday's meeting with plenty of confidence, Dallas winning 11 of their last 13 games and Atlanta 6 of 7, one thing would remain clear for Atlanta's game plan versus the Mavericks... contain Luka Docic, especially after January's matchup where Luka poured in 73 points in ATL. However is the combination of Docic and his backcourt running mate Kyrie Irving that would eventually put a stamp on the season series. The bright spot however for the Atlanta Hawks would be the bench scoring and contributions from reserves Garrison Mathews and Bruno Fernando. While Bogdan Bogdanovic led all Hawks scorers with 17 points, this underwhelming performance gives plenty for the team to build off of as we get closer to the NBA Playoffs!
