Game 3:Atlanta Hawks @ Charlotte Bobcats 106 - 104THE FACTS:It was an amazing game in Charlotte ,as the two teams provided everyone with a thrilling contest which needed extra basketball in order to be judged. The Atlanta Hawks had the lead in the whole game,but as the time was running out ,the Bobcats passed the ball to Ben Gordon,and he delivered.9 points in the last minute,including two three pointers in the last 6 seconds,one to cut the lead down to 1 ,and another to tie it,after Teague went 2/2 from the line.On the OT though,it was the same story again,as the Hawks had a 2 point lead with 2.5 seconds,and everyone expected Gordon to do it again. But he was double teamed in the inbound and forced a difficult jumper ,which missed,so the Hawks escaped with the W.
For the Bobcats though,for another game it was the Rookie,
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist who was the best player in the field. MKG had 26 points and 4 rebounds,performing better and better as time goes by.
Ben Gordon had 21 points and 4 steals,while
Kemba Walker added 16 and
JaVale McGee had a solid double double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
Atlanta Hawks were lead by the 8-year veteran,
Lou Williams,who had 29 points,14 assists and 7 rebounds,including the game winning basket in Overtime,despite going 0-4 from the 3pt line.
Al Horford had 16 points and 7 assists and
Devin Harris added a 15 point,5 assist performance as well.
HOT:Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is tearing it up as of late. He's emerging as the leader everyone in Charlotte wanted him to be,and he's proving consistent on his shooting again,scoring 12-24 attempts in the game,on another performance with at least 50% in shooting.
QUOTABLE:It was a great game,personally I'm feeling great and enjoying basketball in Atlanta,and this clearly shows up in my stats this year.
--Lou Williams,Hawks' PG(19.6 PPG so far this season)
QUOTABLE II:That's basketball,I can't hit all the shots I take,and I could clearly use a little help in the final stretch,as most of the times,I'm the one who takes the ball,and now the opposition is aware of it.
--Bobcats' Ben Gordon

Bradley Beal(19 points) and
John Wall(18 points ,9 assists),finished the game at its very beggining.
JaVale McGee was trying all by himself,as his 28 points, and 9 rebounds were not enough. Kidd-Gilchrist had 19 points,but the rest of the team was dissapointing.
