The Atlanta Hawks invade Gainbridge Fieldhouse and the defending Eastern Conference champions, Indiana Pacers minus their star guard Tyrese Haliburton and 5 of their top 7 leading scorers from a year ago.

Indiana is winless on the season while the Atlanta Hawks are coming off a win in Brooklyn earlier this week. ATL will be without star guard Trae Young who suffered an injury early in Wednesday's game. To start in his place newly-named Hawk, Nickeil Alexander Walker.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste express their impressions on Atlanta's lopsided win in Indy including statistics that make them smile, slow start concerns, keys to the victory and 'The Turning Point' of the game.

The Falcons Squad breaks down Atlanta's offensive struggles, averaging just 10 points per game over their last two contests. Hosts Tenitra Batiste, Aaron Freeman, Jarvis Davis, and Maria Martin analyze offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's play-calling challenges and the offensive line's inconsistent performance against New England's formidable defense. The crew debates whether Michael Penix Jr. or Kirk Cousins gives Atlanta the best chance to succeed, examining the team's predictability and struggles against man coverage. They discuss Bijan Robinson's underutilization, Drake London and Darnell Mooney's injury concerns, and the impact of losing Divine Deablo on defense. The panel evaluates head coach Raheem Morris's "out-Atlanta" philosophy and his criticism of the offensive line, while identifying key X-factors including Jalon Walker's potential return and the need for explosive plays downfield against a Patriots team allowing just 18 points per game defensively.

Entering the Wednesday's meeting in the 'Big Apple' versus Brooklyn, the Atlanta Hawks bolstered a 1-3 record to start the season with plenty to prove but who knew it'd be at the expense of doing so without their star guard Trae Young.

Trae was escorted to the lockeroom with 2:09 remaining in the 1st Quarter while maintaining a 28-23 lead and would not return to action.

Atlanta utilized their ball protection, efficient shooting with floor spacing, depth from the bench and pace in transition to seal its 2nd win of the season.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste discuss the 'Turning Point' of the game, who stepped up in Trae's absence and keys to victory in a battle of 2 of the NBA's top 3 youngest teams in the league.
