Jalen Johnson showed the world just the star he could become in Wednesday night’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings, where the Hawks won 133-100. Johnson dropped 24 points on 9/10 from the field, 2/3 from three, and 4/4 from the free throw line in a nearly flawless scoring performance. This didn’t interfere with his signature all-around output, as he tallied 10 rebounds, 8 assists, and a steal in just 24 minutes, resting during the fourth as the Hawks led by upwards of 30.
The Kings were without Zach LaVine, Keegan Murray, and Malik Monk – their three best shooters.
