Let’s take a look at what happened in the games from around the league on November 3.
The Atlanta Hawks snapped their four-game losing streak with a convincing victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Jalen Johnson led the way for the Hawks with a 29-point performance. The Pelicans were without their star forward Zion Williamson who was sidelined due to a right hamstring tightness before the game.
Brandon Ingram stepped in at the last minute as a replacement for Zion Williamson, scoring an impressive 32 points. However, it wasn’t enough to secure a win against the Hawks.
The Brooklyn Nets suffered a disappointing loss to the Detroit Pistons, despite a strong start to the season. Ben Simmons struggled to find his rhythm, and the team’s three-point shooting fell off in the second half.
Simmons scored four points, five rebounds, and six assists while shooting 2/4 from the field in 24 minutes of playing time.
