“That’s the last thing I feel like anybody who is a Hawks supporter wants to see is that dude coming down with any sort of knickknack or whatever it is.
“Yeah, obviously we’re going to have to adapt,” Capela said when asked what the Hawks will do if Young remains at less than 100% for Tuesday’s game.
Hawks coach Nate McMillan repeatedly referred to Monday as a “get what you need day” for his players — be that massages, treatment or getting some shots up.
Today is a day to take care of whatever it is that you need to get yourself ready for tomorrow.
But that didn’t mean McMillan wasn’t focused on things his team can improve as it tries to even the series with a victory in Game 4.
We just didn’t show patience to find the matchup or the mismatch that they were giving us and taking advantage of that.
“I thought there were times where we didn’t do a good job of keeping the ball in front.
“They made plays every time we tried to make a run to stop our runs, and that was the difference in winning that game.
It has been a wildly successful playoff run for the Hawks, who went from being 14-20 and firing McMillan’s predecessor, Lloyd Pierce, in the middle of the season to turning things around to finish fifth in the East.
“It just really shows how hard winning in the playoffs really is,” Collins said.
