GIF: Hawks' Schroder celebrates 3-pointer before it even goes in

The red-hot Atlanta Hawks captured their 22nd victory in 24 games on Sunday thanks to a 3-point barrage.
The Hawks connected on 16-of-31 3-point attempts. Backup point guard Dennis Schroder hit two of them, celebrating his second triple before it even went through the hoop.

It was a bold move for Schroder, who's shooting just 20 percent from deep this season. Factor in the expiring shot clock and the flying closeout, and there was a real chance of Schroder making the same mistake Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Nick "Swaggy P" Young did last season.
