Jalen Johnson set four career-highs on the same night and became the only player in NBA history to finish a game with 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals. He was three steals away from a quadruple double as the Hawks captured a 10-point victory, once again without the help of Trae Young who is sidelined due to an MCL sprain.

However, Johnson was not the Hawks leading scorer as Onyeka Okongwu shot eight ofr 14 from long range and tallied a career-high 32 points. Vit Krejci scored 20 points while Nickeil Alexander-Walker notched 16, Luke Kennard scored 12 and Zaccharie Risacher scored 11.

Lauri Markkanen scored a game-high 40 points, rookie Ace Bailey scored a career-high 21 points and Keyonte George scored 19. Isaiah Collier and Jusuf Nurkic each poured in 10 points.

The Hawks close out a four-game road trip against the Suns in Phoenix on Sunday, while the Jazz host the Chicago Bulls the same day.
