In a dominant performance, Trae Young led the Atlanta Hawks to a 110–43 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Young was exceptional, making all 21 of his free throws and finishing with 35 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds. This performance marked his 39th double-double of the season and made him the eighth player in NBA history to achieve a perfect 21-for-21 from the free-throw line. The Hawks improved to 3–0 against the Hornets this season, solidifying their No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference.

With these victories, the Atlanta Hawks have shown resilience and depth, particularly with the emergence of Dyson Daniels as a defensive powerhouse. Daniels leads the NBA in combined steals and blocks (stocks) for the season, a feat last achieved by Michael Jordan in the 1987–88 season. His performance has solidified his reputation as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
