Atlanta - Charlotte 103: 132.
The Hawks took full advantage of the home advantage in the play-off encounter to pounce on the Hornets and defeat them quite easily.
Trey Young was once again there to lead Atlanta despite a shocking first quarter on his part.
Once he got into things his team’s win was unquestioned and he finished the evening with 24 points and 11 assists.
Diandra Hunter became Young's second fiddle with 22 points, bombing 16 points in the third quarter close to 90 percent from the field.
Clint Capella also stood out with 15 points and 17 rebounds.
Lamello Bull, on the other hand, tried to keep Charlotte alive, but despite 26 points and eight assists he could not, almost alone, meet the task.
Now waiting for Atlanta Cleveland, in a direct battle for a place in the Eastern Playoffs.

New Orleans - San Antonio 103: 113.
The Pelicans need to take their hat off to face CJ McCollum who swept her to a decisive battle against the Los Angeles Clippers for a spot in the Western Playoffs, which is worth a series against the Phoenix Suns.
The big first half of the New Orleans star did the job.
He scored 27 points out of his 32, and along with Brendan Ingram, who scored 27 in total, stopped any San Antonio comeback attempt.
The Spurs had Devin Wassel with 23 points and Jacob Peltl with 16 points and 9 rebounds, but also the important Jonathon Marie on a mediocre 16-point night with just over 25% from the field.
