The Hawks were down by as much as 14 points in the final quarter but came storming back for a comeback, one punctuated by Trae Young's final dagger.
Game-winner aside, Trae Young didn't have a monstrous game by his usual standards. The Hawks point guard finished with 24 points on a modest 6-for-14 shooting clip.
It was mostly a team effort for Atlanta to keep their playoff hopes alive. Six of the eight players who played in the contest scored in double-figures, with nobody scoring fewer than John Collins' six points.
The comeback was buoyed by big buckets from Delon Wright, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Onyeka Okungwu as they completely erased the 14-point fourth quarter deficit to tie the game within a five-minute span.
A 0-3 series hole has historically been insurmountable. The Hawks virtually saved their season with their spirited play to close out the game. With Clint Capela still on the mend and John Collins trying to get back to game shape after just getting off the injury reserve list, Atlanta has been battling but can still get better.
