"They don’t wanna be in the playoffs"- NBA fans show no mercy to the Hawks after they blow a 24-point lead to the Spurs

The Atlanta Hawks lost to the 14th-placed San Antonio Spurs, and NBA fans are baffled by the situation. Atlanta went up against San Antonio on Sunday night, where they had the lead for the majority of the game. Unfortunately, the Hawks collapsed and blew a 24-point lead over the Spurs. Ultimately, San Antonio won 126-118.

NBA fans aren't too happy about Atlanta's most recent defeat. The Hawks now have a 35-36 record. If they end up losing their next 3 games, they could be knocked out of the play-in tournament picture. Fans on social media even pointed out that they aren't doing their best to secure a playoff spot this year.

It was a sad day for Atlanta Hawks fans as they lost to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. Honestly, the loss didn't hurt Atlanta much considering they're still placed 8th in the East.
