That’s as hard as Herb Jones has ever thrown down a dunk, I think.

Hawks are on a 16-6 run and lead 43-34 w/ 7:29 remaining in 2Q.
Bench held strong and Onyeka and Jalen have done a pretty good job of taking away Zion as an option. Zion is 3-5 from the floor and 3-4 from FT line for 9 points. – 8:15 PM

The Pelicans trailed by as many as eight points, but the deficit is a single point at the end of the first quarter.
CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson combined for 18 of the Pels’ 28 points. Brandon Ingram’s off to a slow start, connecting on just 1 of 7 from the field. – 8:06 PM

End of the 1st: Hawks 29, Pelicans 28
McCollum 11 pts (5-6 FG)
Williamson 7 pts
Ingram 2 pts (1-7 FG), 5 rebs, 3 assts
Pels are keeping it close despite shooting 39 percent from the field. Containing Trae Young (10pts, 4 assts) has also been an issue. – 8:06 PM

Staying in front of Trae Young seems like a not fun job. He’s got 10 points. Hawks 29, Pelicans 28 after one. – 8:05 PM

CJ McCollum has chopped up the Hawks’ drop coverage early. Keeps using a big pick from Valanciunas and snaking into a soft spot from 17 feet.
Hawks have done well taking away other stuff to this point. – 7:57 PM

The Hawks have been good at stopping everyone but CJ McCollum tonight. He’s got 11 points on 5-6 shooting from the floor.
They’ve been solid at not letting the Pelicans in the paint. The Hawks have held them to 4-13 overall shooting in the paint w/ 3:31 left in 1Q. – 7:57 PM

CJ McCollum in his bag. That’s four straight buckets for the point guard and he’s singlehandedly keeping the Pelicans with striking distance of the Hawks.

Zion Williamson poised to abuse John Collins?
Easily bumped him out of the way on his first drive and now is going to the free throw line after getting almost to restricted area on a drive. – 7:44 PM

Errick McCollum described how an altercation with a car owner in Izmir over a parking spot ended up with the American guard having to confront an armed man.
“I thought I was going to have to kill him” 😱
