Hawks Shock Suns with Improbable Comeback in Phoenix

PHOENIX – The Atlanta Hawks completed a stunning comeback Sunday night, erasing a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns 124-122 and extend their winning streak to five games. Onyeka Okongwu led the charge with 27 points, powering the Hawks to a 4-0 finish on their Western Conference road trip.

The victory was even more impressive considering Atlanta was without All-Star guard Trae Young (right knee sprain) and center Kristaps Porzingis (right knee soreness). Nickell Alexander-Walker contributed 26 points, hitting one of two crucial free throws with three seconds remaining. Royce O’Neale secured the rebound on the miss and launched a half-court shot, but it bounced harmlessly off the rim.

“This team showed a lot of heart tonight,” said Coach Quinn Snyder. “We fought back with everything we had, and it shows you what the players are willing to do to win. The Suns have a great team, but our guys never gave up.”

Josh Johnson added 25 points and 10 rebounds for Atlanta, while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 11 points and 12 assists.

The Suns, missing Grayson Allen (right quadriceps contusion) and Jalen Green (strained right hamstring), were led by Dillon Brooks’ 34 points. Devin Booker contributed 27 points, and Colin Gillespie added 15 points, with nine rebounds and eight assists.

Phoenix carried a commanding lead into the fourth quarter after ending the third on a 15-0 run. However, Atlanta rallied with a fierce offensive push and lockdown defense, outscoring the Suns by a significant margin in the final frame. Zaccharie Risacher scored 15 for Atlanta before exiting the game in the fourth quarter with a left hip contusion after a hard fall.

The Hawks will return home to host the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, while the Suns travel to Portland to face the Trail Blazers.
