HAWKS POSTCAST: Atlanta Hawks Need 2OT In City Of Brotherly Love Behind Jalen Johnson Career High

The 'on the road again' Atlanta Hawks appear to be finding their comfort zone away from State Farm Arena, this time on the front end of yet another back-to-back but this time in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia against the Sixers. Despite late 3rd Quarter struggles, Atlanta pieced together a significant 4th Quarter run to gain its largest lead of the contest (8 points) before pushed to 2OT. 

Led by Jalen Johnson's career-high 41 points, ATL also got major double figure contributions from all of its starters including energy booster, Mouhamed Gueye. Atlanta used the second half to boost its rebounding, assist, fast break scoring and interior scoring total, overmatching Philly despite a whopping 23 turnovers. 

DeShaun Tate proposes the question if the Atlanta Hawks are receiving the attention that it deserves including the slate ahead for Dyson Daniels, if Jalen Johnson should be a lock for an all-star participant, what Atlanta did to prove that they just 'wanted it more' and what unraveled in the overtimes to push the Hawks over the edge with key plays by Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
