For one night only, DIME senior writer (and Peachtree Hoops alum) Robby Kalland returns to his old home with insight from Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix.
The Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns met in a battle of lottery teams and, while the general stakes weren’t high in Talking Stick Resort Arena on Saturday, the two teams put on quite the show for those in attendance.
The two teams traded the lead throughout the game, making former coach Larry Drew proud as it truly was a game of runs. John Collins and Devin Booker had dueling 30 point games, however, Booker was held scoreless for the first 11 minutes of the fourth quarter as Atlanta was, ultimately able to pull away late for a comfortable win.
