VIDEO: Hawks pass up great shot for an even better look
Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports
A wide-open 3-pointer by Kyle Korver is one of the best possible outcomes for any offense. Korver is shooting an absurd 49.2 percent from deep, a mark that topped all players in the league.
But the ethos of the Atlanta Hawks is unselfishness. The Hawks' formula of team basketball has paced Atlanta to a 60-win season atop the Eastern Conference. It's about passing up good shots for even better shots.
Here's one example from the Hawks' Game 1 against the Brooklyn Nets. Korver passes up a three to spot DeMarre Carroll who was wide open at the basket.
That's the Hawks. They're the pinacle of team basketball.
