The Atlanta Hawks returned from the All-Star break in style, pulling off a 15-point comeback in the final six minutes and securing a win over the Toronto Raptors. From there, the team returned to State Farm Arena for the first home game in more than two weeks, with the Sacramento Kings paying their annual visit to Atlanta. After an uneven start, the Hawks turned on the jets, and when the final buzzer sounded, Atlanta emerged with a 121-106 victory for their fourth consecutive win.
The home team struggled mightily out of the gate, particularly on the defensive end.
