Bounces back in loss

Analyse
After scoring just eight points on 4-of-9 shooting from the field in Thursday's win over Philadelphia, Okongwu bounced back on the offensive end Friday. The sixth-year center led Atlanta in points, reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since Jan. 23 and for the 17th time this season. Additionally, he knocked down an efficient four three-pointers and has hit multiple triples in all but one of his last nine outings. He also racked up multiple blocks for the third time in his last five appearances, though he has been less effective on the glass of late, finishing with fewer than four rebounds in two of his last three showings.

Grabs nine boards in win
Okongwu had eight points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 117-107 win over the 76ers.
Analyse
Okongwu turned in a modest performance in Atlanta's first outing following the All-Star break. The big man failed to score in double figures for the first time since Jan. 19, though he finished second on the Hawks in rebounds after averaging just 4.7 boards per game in his previous three games. After starting the season in a bench role, Okongwu should continue to start and see significant burn. He'll aim to bounce back on the offensive end in the second leg of this back-to-back set Friday against Miami.
