The Hawks had the lead for over 46 minutes in the game, and every time it felt the Warriors were going on a run, they had an answer for every opportunity. Those are the things that can shape a winning team, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/hawks-news-georges-niang-issues-sacrifice-take-building-chemistry-hawks">Georges Niang knows what it takes</a> for a win like this to happen.</p><p>“The biggest thing for us is continuing to focus on building good habits,” Niang said after the game. “When you look at our team, there’s a lot of first, second, third, fourth, or fifth-year guys. If you can consistently build habits of no matter what happens win, loss, draw, happy, mad, sad, and I’m going to do these three or four things night in or night out basis, I think at the end of the road you see that you start to become successful, and success is not linear.”</p><p>With the Hawks coming down to the stretch of the season, every game is important if they want to end up in a good position at the end of the year. The team is starting to see their hard work pay off, and from here on, it’s going to take consistency to stay in this flow state they’re in.</p><p>“We won four in a row, then we lost to Brooklyn, and now we win two in a row, and it’s like we want to keep that going,” Niang said. “You also want to win in the margins, that’s contesting shots or always running back on defense, building a wall, or rebounding. You want to build those habits to where they become second nature.”</p><h2><b>Georges Niang, Hawks defeat Warriors for second straight win</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Georges-Niang-1.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>It was an impressive win for the Hawks as they stayed fairly consistent on both sides of the ball throughout the game. They set the tone in the first quarter, opening up with a 40-23 lead and shooting 65% from the field. The Warriors made a run in the second quarter, but the Hawks were still able to maintain, with Onyeka Okongwu scoring 13 points in the period.</p><p>The second half belonged to Niang as he knocked down six 3-pointers to help the Hawks maintain their lead. Though Niang was on a heater, he still wanted to play within the flow of the offense.</p><p>“I learned at a young age that calling for the ball usually ends in the reverse, so I usually like to have my eyes wide open and show my hands, maybe clap,” Niang said. “Obviously, when you’re rolling, you have a sense of that, and you never want to make it above you.”</p><p>Caris LeVert and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/hawks-trae-young-reaches-steve-nash-territory-with-big-night-vs-pacers">Trae Young brought it in for the Hawks</a> in the end, and with them having another scorer to help down the stretch it brings another dynamic to the team.</p><p>“He brings a lot of scoring ability, he brings a lot of attention,” Young said after the game. “So when I’m off the ball and he has the ball in his hands, more times than not, the guy is face-guarding me now and not letting me go. Gary Payton II was on me tonight, holding me the whole time.</p><p>“Whenever he starts going, beating his defender, and getting to the lane, it forces the defense to help in other ways so I’m able to get the ball later in the clock, get downhill and shoot a floater, find somebody else late in the clock. That just helps us and adds another dimension to the team.”</p><p>It was another true team win for the Hawks, and they’re going to need that going into the final weeks of the season.</p><p>“I think when you have a locker room full of good guys that are willing to put their egos aside and put winning in the forefront of everything,” Niang said. “Our leader is Quin Snyder and then the coaching staff, and I think coach Q does a good job of spelling things out of what he expects from guys and being honest enough where you know what’s expected of you on a night-in and night-out basis.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Other than what he does on the floor, he’s a veteran that the Hawks could use for such a young team, and head coach Quin Snyder sees the difference he’s made.</p><p>“I have a lot of familiarity with George, and some of the things that he brings, his role here is more significant than it was in when I had him in Utah, which makes sense as he’s gotten older as a player and become a vet in this league,” Snyder said. “Clearly his ability to shoot the ball is something that makes him unique.</p><p>“I think his understanding of the game, just an intelligent player, as far as reading situations, coupled with, his ability and willingness to communicate where he can impact the game in a lot of subtle ways that maybe don’t show up on the stat sheet the way the shooting does.”</p><p>So far with the Hawks, Niang is averaging 13.6 points while shooting almost 41% from three. Though it’s a small sample size, he’s also playing the most minutes in his career due to the injuries the Hawks have dealt with at the forward position.</p><p>He’s hit some big shots for the Hawks so far and also had some of the biggest scoring games in his career in just a short amount of time on the team.

We got a long way to go, but we’re right there,” Young continued.</p><h2><b>Hawks finish fourth quarter strong in win against Pacers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Georges-Niang.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Hawks were down numerous times throughout the game, but they always found a way to get back in it. The Pacers threw numerous defenses at them, but it never fazed them. Myles Turner was at the free-throw line to put the Pacers up 102-101 with 5:55 remaining, and Georges Niang and Tyrese Haliburton had a friendly back-and-forth on the sideline. The Hawks came down on the offensive end, Niang hit a three, and coming down on defense, he gave Haliburton a stare.</p><p>The Hawks then got a stop on defense, and Niang came down to hit another big three to put the team up 107-102. From there, they didn’t surrender the lead and came out with the win.</p><p>“I enjoy my moments on the court and trash-talking is something that I grew up on,” Niang said after the game. “Not to say I’m going to be one of those people that’s like ‘Yeah it’s his fault.’ That’s not how I operate. Just friendly banter, and unfortunately for him, we went on a run after that.”</p><p>As the Hawks try to climb up the standings and push for the playoffs, these are the types of games that they’re going to have to win. With the team starting to find a rhythm and the new guys clicking, this stretch run will be critical for them.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I think being an everyday guy, not just a sometimes guy, and I think that’s something that me and Caris pride ourselves on.”</p><p>Both Niang and LeVert bring experience and skills that the Hawks are looking for on the team now and in the future, and they will make a nice impact whenever they’re on the floor.</p><h2>Hawks’ new additions ready to compete</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Georges-Niang.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Hawks’ new additions should fit in seamlessly with the current roster, and most importantly, they give Trae Young more options so he can rack up assists. When asked about playing with Young, Georges Niang had a hilarious answer.</p><p>“I’m just happy I don’t have to guard him because it seems like every time I fouled him,” Niang said. “Every time I was caught up in a switch or a ball screen, so I’m looking forward to being on the receiving end. Being able to play with somebody as dynamic and special as Trae is really going to be a treat for all of us. He draws a lot of attention, and I think all of us can benefit from playing alongside him.”</p><p>Niang and Caris LeVert have been solid three-point shooters throughout their careers, and their lives will be easy with Young finding them for open shots.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bogdan-bogdanovic-gives-farewell-to-atlanta-after-clippers-trade">Hawks also acquired Terance Mann</a> from the Los Angeles Clippers, and he can be a good defender to play alongside Young and the rest of the roster. Some would say that the Hawks’ roster took a step back after the trades, but it’s hard to say that with the quality players they’ve added.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
