At the half, the Hawks trailed the Hornets by 1 point. Late in the 3rd quarter Kent Bazemore connected a 2-pointer helping the team capture the lead.

Close to the end of the 4th, is when the true magic happened.  Atlanta’s energy level heightened and the competitive spirit invaded the game when hero Kent Bazemore hit a game-winning layup with seconds remaining on the clock. John Collins sealed the victory with a blocked shot and finally the Hawks losing streak came to an end.

John Collins led the team as top scorer with 23 points 11 rebounds, Kent Bazemore with 20 points and Trae Young with 18 points.
