58+ min ago (736+ words) The Hawks couldn't maintain their 23-point lead. The Atlanta Hawks were at home on Friday evening to face the Denver Nuggets. The Hawks are coming off a tough loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, but they were without Jalen Johnson, and the team didn't seem like they had the legs to compete after all the traveling that they've done the past two weeks.

The Hawks turned defense into offense on this play and got Johnson an easy bucket in transition. Vit Krejci joined in on the 3-point…...
