In a dominant performance, Trae Young led the Atlanta Hawks to a 110–43 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Young was exceptional, making all 21 of his free throws and finishing with 35 points, 12 assists, and 7 rebounds. This performance marked his 39th double-double of the season and made him the eighth player in NBA history to achieve a perfect 21-for-21 from the free-throw line. The Hawks improved to 3–0 against the Hornets this season, solidifying their No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks completed a season sweep of the Hornets with a commanding 134–102 win. Young again led the charge with 31 points, while Dyson Daniels contributed 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists. Rookie Zaccharie Risacher added 21 points and 8 rebounds. Atlanta's long-range shooting was on point, hitting 22 of 45 three-pointers (48.9%) and shooting 53.8% overall from the field. The Hawks rebounded from a prior loss to the Brooklyn Nets, finishing the season 4–0 against Charlotte.

The Hornets faced significant challenges during these matchups. Key players LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges were sidelined due to injuries, leaving Charlotte without their primary offensive contributors. Despite efforts from Seth Curry and DaQuan Jeffries, who each scored 19 points, the Hornets struggled to keep pace with the Hawks' offensive onslaught. Charlotte committed 17 turnovers in the March 18 game, further hindering their chances of competing.

With these victories, the Atlanta Hawks have shown resilience and depth, particularly with the emergence of Dyson Daniels as a defensive powerhouse. Daniels leads the NBA in combined steals and blocks (stocks) for the season, a feat last achieved by Michael Jordan in the 1987–88 season. His performance has solidified his reputation as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
