A new one for my Atlanta bingo card: A long train became stuck on the tracks that vehicles need to cross to access the media lot; more importantly, this is also the path team busses take to the arena. Hearing Charlotte’s second bus finally got here after a wee bit of a detour. – 6:26 PM

I hope the Hawks did stop the train, that would be incredible levels of pettiness. NBA needs more rivalries and nothing like bad traffic gets the blood boiling 😂 – 6:02 PM

James Borrego, on CHA arriving late because train was planted across the tracks next to the arena:
“I’ve been coming to this arena for 20 years and I’ve never seen that train stopped before the game, so somebody figured it out … Our guys noticed though. It’s good fuel for us.” – 5:45 PM

Strong showing by Jean Montero today at OT Elite, building on his performance at Hoop Summit.
Off to State Farm Arena for Hawks-Hornets! – 5:41 PM

Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
James Borrego said that a key to defending Trae is to stay aggressive and to switch things up and give him multiple looks. – 5:35 PM

If you think Charlotte will…
—Stay within 7 in the play-in game
—Get a 17-4 from Bridges
—Get 6+ boards from Plumlee
—Give up 15+ to Bogdanovic

Quick pit stop here in the ATL to watch Overtime Elite pro week. Several NBA scouts here, more coming tomorrow. Potential 2023 first-rounder Ausar Thompson among those on floor right now. pic.twitter.com/DU4IzEqxhA3:45 PM

Latest dispatch from ATL: When PJ Washington is flourishing, the #Hornets are tough to beat.
“I’ve noticed that since I got here, honestly,” he told me. “For me, I just try to do my best to be consistent, play as good as I can and just try to get a win.”
