Jalen Johnson led the Hawks over the Jazz with a 31-point triple-double

SALT LAKE CITY — Jalen Johnson had 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 132-122 victory over the Utah Jazz on Thursday night.

Johnson reached career highs in points and assists for his third career triple-double.

Playing without Trae Young, the Hawks (8-5) have won four straight and made 24 3-pointers, the most by any NBA team this season.

Onyeka Okongwu went 8 for 14 from 3-point range after never making more than four in a game en route to his career-high 32 points.

The Hawks set a franchise record with 15 3-pointers on 25 attempts in the first half, led by Vit Krejci’s 5-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Krejci made a 3 in the second half and finished with 20 points.

Lauri Markkanen scored 40 points on 15-for-25 shooting. Rookie Ace Bailey scored another career best with 21 points and Kevin George added 19 for Utah (4-8), which has yet to post consecutive wins this season.

Atlanta won the game with an 8–0 late run that included steals by Johnson and Nickal Alexander-Walker and Johnson’s two free throws to make it 127–118 with 3:03 to play.

The Hawks led by as many as 18, but the Jazz mounted a comeback and took a 106-103 lead in the fourth quarter on Markkanen’s 3-pointer.

The Hawks have found success without many of their key players. Young has missed two weeks with an MCL sprain and Kristaps Porzingis missed Thursday’s game to rest.

Without a ball-dominant point guard, the Hawks are spreading the ball around and racking up assists (he has 36) while they continue to win with a depleted roster.

The game was delayed more than 10 minutes while grounds crew repaired a basket.

Atlanta: Finish their four-game road trip in Phoenix on Sunday.

Jazz: Host Chicago on Sunday.
