The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Houston Rockets at home, 122-113, behind Dejounte Murray’s 34-point performance. Atlanta saw all five of their starters score in double-digits, as the squad was short-staffed due to injury and DNP’s.
The Hawks improved to 24-29 on the season, and are 6-2 in their last 8 games. They take on the Chicago Bulls Monday and the Charlotte Hornets Wednesday, before the league heads into the All-Star break. The Hawks are currently 10th in the east with a chance to flip flop to ninth with the Bulls Monday night.
