Kevin Huerter News: All-around production in win

Atlanta Hawks' Kevin Huerter put together an all-around performance in Saturday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The third-year guard finished with 23 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in the 124-115 victory.

Huerter's performance was a much-needed one for the Hawks, who were without leading scorer Trae Young due to a sprained ankle.

The 22-year-old stepped up in Young's absence, leading the team in scoring and assists while also contributing on the boards.

Huerter's big night was a continuation of his strong play of late.

Over his last five games, he is averaging 18.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game.

The Hawks will need Huerter to continue to play at a high level if they want to make a playoff push this season.

Huerter's performance against the Thunder was a reminder of his potential.

The former first-round pick has shown flashes of brilliance throughout his career, but he has also been inconsistent at times.

However, if he can continue to play at the level he did against the Thunder, he could be a key piece for the Hawks going forward.

The Hawks are hoping that Huerter's performance is a sign of things to come.

The team has been searching for a consistent third scorer behind Young and John Collins, and Huerter may be the answer.

If he can continue to play at a high level, the Hawks could be a dangerous team in the Eastern Conference.
