The Atlanta Hawks registered a convincing victory in Phoenix over the Suns on Wednesday night, emerging 132-100 at Footprint Center.
Dejounte Murray scored a team-high 21 points, with the returning Trae Young adding 20 points and 12 assists. For the Suns, Mikal Bridges scored a game-high 23 points, Deandre Ayton added 20 points.
Right off the top here: this was the best game of the season for the Atlanta Hawks. From minute one to minute 48, this was their best game of the season.
Phoenix might be without Devin Booker but the Suns are a top-10 defense and the Hawks, as we’ve seen, have been woefully inconsistent, so for Atlanta to do what they did last night was an incredible surprise.
