Jalen Johnson (32), Hawks Edge Grizzlies to Halt Skid

Jalen Johnson scored 32 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, leading the Hawks to snap a four-game losing streak with a close victory over the Grizzlies.

  • On Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks beat the Memphis Grizzlies 124-122 in Memphis, led by Jalen Johnson's game-high 32 points, 15 rebounds and a key late lane basket.
  • A late fourth-quarter surge saw an eight-point run, capped by Jalen Johnson free throws, erase a 110-108 Memphis Grizzlies lead with 5:39 left, while the margin never exceeded six points.
  • Luke Kennard and Onyeka Okongwu supplied scoring support, each scoring 18 points while Kennard opened hot, making his first six shots including four 3-pointers to energize Atlanta.
  • The result ended Atlanta's four-game skid and the Hawks host the Phoenix Suns on Friday, while Memphis fell to eight losses in 11 games and hosts the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
  • The game's 21 lead changes and 14 ties showed how back-and-forth it was, with Ja Morant scoring 23 points and 12 assists despite missing a late 3-point shot.
