After the victory over Detroit last night in which Danny Avdia got involved with a foul problem, the Israeli and his team met Atlanta tonight and lost 122:120 in a dramatic and weak game for the Israeli, who finished it with only 2 points in 23 minutes from the bench.
Avdia made just one of six attempts, including 0-for-3 from beyond the arc.
He also added 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers.
A career high was not enough.

Washington was strong in this game, but DeAndre Hunter's 3-pointer with 1 minute and 7 seconds left secured the victory for the Hawks despite Kristaps Porzingis' career-high 43 points.
After Hunter put the visitors ahead 114:117, Bradley Beal scored only one from the line and Young scored from the line on the other side.
Porzingis had his best game in Washington hitting all five of his shots in the fourth quarter, including four 3-pointers, and finished that game 17-of-22 from the field and 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, but couldn't prevent a loss that dropped Washington to 35. :31.
Not a game he'll want to remember.

Bradley Beal added 24 points for the hosts, but shot just 1 of 6 in the final quarter, with Kyle Kuzma adding 25 and 10 rebounds for the Wizards, who will meet the Hawks again on Friday night.
Trae Young scored 28 points for Atlanta, which already trailed by 15, but turned the bowl around with a 0:14 run at the end of the third quarter and took eighth place following this victory.
Dejontae Murray added 17 points for the visitors, who enjoyed double-digit contributions from seven players.
Washington is now only in 10th place in the play-in East, but Chicago is only a game and a half away from it and Indiana can overtake it as well.
