After a disappointing showing in a blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday evening, the Atlanta Hawks looked to bounce back against a top-flight opponent on Tuesday in Phoenix. The Hawks trailed for the entirety of the night and, despite a late push, Atlanta fell by a final score of 117-110 for the team’s fourth loss in the last five games.
The Hawks stumbled at the outset, with the Suns taking a 21-11 lead in short order. Phoenix dominated the offensive glass throughout the first half, making an imprint immediately, and that left Atlanta playing from behind.
