“They crazy for leaving me open, that’s what was going through my head,” said De’Andre Hunter about his late three-point shot to ice the game for Atlanta. It was the exclamation point on a hard-fought road victory for the Hawks, their second consecutive win on this road trip. It was a balanced effort, as they showed patience on both sides of the ball, remaining in control for most of the game despite a late run from Utah.
