The Atlanta Hawks entered Phoenix on the heels of a tough loss to the Jazz in Utah Friday night, a loss that put them at 2-3 so far on what’s been the most challenging road trip of the season. Despite the back-to-back and the grind of being away from home for almost two full weeks now, the Hawks showed up to play in many areas of the game on Saturday evening.
Coach Lloyd Pierce made a change in the starting lineup, electing to go with Taurean Prince over DeAndre’ Bembry on the wing.
