The Atlanta Hawks suffer an unexpected loss at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans in the "Bird Battle" among the most productive benches in the league on Halloween night in the 'Big Easy' after having a spooky performance.
ATL's poor performance was initially gas lit by front-court injuries to Jock Landale and Jalen Johnson, ultimately resulting in decisions to make with its roster construction and rotation.
As frustration began to set in, leading to a dust-up in the final moments and an ejection to rookie guard Kingston Flemings, questions loom about Atlanta's effort, identity, preparation, efforts, pride and accountability.
