"It's for sure frustrating, but we've got to find a way, It's still early, but we need to figure it out now. We've got to change something and we don't" starting Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder from Germany said during post game interview.

Forward Paul Millsap missed his 12 in his first 13 shots and scored only 7 points, he left the game early after he suffered an eye minor injury.
