HAWKS WIN! HAWKS WIN!

By: Lucas Kochevar

     The Hawks fnally stop their 7-game skid that felt like an eternity. The Hawks were able to pick up this win against the tanking Phoenix Suns. The Suns were without their three best players and the Hawks were down three starters once again. The Hawks actually started off good and had an 18-point lead at one point. But of course, the Hawks would blow that lead and the Suns were actually winning in the early fourth quarter by eight. Dennis Schroder would hit two three-pointers and would rally and win the game with some more ease. The Hawks had three very impressive performances from Dennis Schroder, Ersan Ilyasova, and Taurean Prince. Dennis Schroder was not going to let the Hawks lose this one as he had was somewhat close to having a triple-double with 27 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds. Ersan Ilyasova had a very solid game in the paint rebounding as he had 18 points and 12 rebounds. Prince impressed once again as he had 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks in his second career start. Hopefully the Hawks will feel good about themselves and win some games now that were in the home stretch for the playoffs.
