After a pretty wild game, the Hawks escape with a victory in Utah.

Jalen Johnson made NBA history as the 1st player ever with at least 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists, and 7 steals.

Atlanta made 24 threes, including 14 (!) from Okongwu and Krejci combined.

Full podcast breakdown to come.

The one and only bright spot defensively for the Hawks has been turnover creation.

They now have 23 takeaways, including a season-high 18 steals.
November 14, 2025 at 4:19 AM
UPDATE: They changed Okongwu's back to a 3 during the timeout.

Now he has 8 threes and the team has 24.
Onyeka Okongwu is having an out-of-body experience.

He has 7 threes.

And would've had an 8th if his foot wasn't barely on the line.

The Hawks have 23 threes as a team.

And they've had 2 more that were originally 3's in the box score and changed to 2's.

Franchise record is 25.
Onyeka Okongwu is having an out-of-body experience.

He has 7 threes.

If Risacher, Dyson, and NAW came in right now and played the rest of the game, none of them would reach 30 minutes for the game.
November 14, 2025 at 4:07 AM
I guess the Hawks are saving NAW and Risacher for tomorrow's game

(Note: the Hawks don't play tomorrow)

The Hawks and Jazz are tied at 103-103 at the end of the third quarter.

Atlanta has 20 (!) three-pointers to stay afloat amid other issues.
November 14, 2025 at 4:01 AM
Onyeka Okongwu has a career high with 5 threes.

The fourth quarter hasn't started yet.
November 14, 2025 at 3:57 AM
Why did Jalen Johnson take a technical free throw with Luke Kennard on the court?
November 14, 2025 at 3:51 AM
The Jazz have taken their first lead since it was 13-12.
November 14, 2025 at 3:47 AM
some legit foul trouble for the hawks right now with both okongwu and daniels having 4
November 14, 2025 at 3:45 AM
For statistical evidence, the Jazz have 83 points on 63 possessions.

(that's bad, kids)
Their own 3PT shooting has masked it, but the Hawks haven't been close to good enough on defense through 2.5 quarters.

Lead back down to 6.

The Jazz have a 17% turnover rate this season, and they're living up to that in the first half.

The Hawks have 11 (!) first half steals, including 5 for Jalen Johnson.
November 14, 2025 at 3:11 AM
last year's hawks-jazz game in utah was the night that trae young hit a 50-footer at the buzzer to win it

might be in for another crazy one tonight
November 14, 2025 at 3:03 AM
some housekeeping during the timeout...

the hawks are 14-23 from 3

the franchise record for 3's in a half is 15

the franchise record for 3's in a game is 25
November 14, 2025 at 2:59 AM
Stating the obvious (I hope) but the Hawks being up only 7 while shooting 14-23 from three isn't the best overall sign.
November 14, 2025 at 2:57 AM
somebody find @johnhollinger.bsky.social, it's happening again
November 14, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Update: Vit Krejci is 16-20 from three in his last 2.5 games

This is obscene.
Vit Krejci is now 14-18 from three in the last 2.5 games
November 14, 2025 at 2:55 AM
Update: Vit Krejci is 15-19 from three in his last 2.5 games

Made this point last night as well, but there is no reason for the Hawks to play a lineup with none of Dyson, NAW, or Jalen on the court.

Makes no sense.
