What happened

Atlanta went 1-3 and slid to 3-4, opening with a 110-120 loss at Houston, where fans noted Asa riding the bench, then a 117-129 home loss to Miami that had one critic wondering why Quin Snyder played "zero mins of double big." A 114-111 win over Cleveland somehow produced more fury, aimed at the officials. The turning point came in New Orleans, a 99-121 rout that pushed misery to 94 and drew a sarcastic "Yes good" toward Snyder's extension. In Atlanta, even the wins need a villain.
