What happened: The Atlanta Hawks opened their game by attempting eight 3-pointers in the first four minutes of the first quarter. The offense did not record a single 2-point attempt during that opening stretch.
Why it matters: The extreme perimeter volume demonstrates a specific offensive philosophy being evaluated during summer league play. Despite the initial barrage, Atlanta shot just 8-for-36 from beyond the arc for the entire game in a 93-66 victory.
What to watch: The coaching staff will review the shot selection and offensive balance as the offseason schedule progresses.
