How It Happened:
A back-and-forth battle that featured 21 lead changes ended in the Hawks favor as Dennis Schroder buried a clutch 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining in the game. On the opposite side of the floor, Derrick Rose drove hard to the rim when he received a glimpse after Atlanta's defense tilted towards the direction of Carmelo Anthony on slip screen. Rose’s layup attempt was blocked by Paul Millsap and the loose ball ended up in Anthony’s hands for the final shot. Anthony just missed the shot and a Joakim Noah tip layup opportunity fell short with the game clock expiring and the Hawks escaped MSG with a 108-107 win.
