Atlanta Hawks Twitter account hilariously mocks offense during first half
Coming into Monday, the Atlanta Hawks were ninth in the NBA in scoring (103.6 ppg), 10th in field goal percentage (.455), and second in three-point percentage (.410). During the first half of the team’s game against the New York Knicks, shots weren’t falling with the same regularity. And that would be an understatement.
The Hawks led 17-16 at the end of the first quarter with Atlanta shooting 35% and the Knicks an even lower 32%. That prompted the Hawks’ Twitter account to post the following tweet.

When the two teams went to the locker room at halftime, the score was tied at 38-38. At that point, the Hawks were 12-37 (32%) from the floor and 4-14 (29%) three-point range. Perhaps not surprisingly, came this tweet.

The Atlanta Hawks hawkshave one of the more entertaining Twitter accounts in the NBA, if not all of sports. That was confirmed yet again on Monday.
