Game notes
This caps a back-to-back set for the Jazz, who've won 13 straight at home ... It also closes a back-to-back set and is the fourth outing in a five-game Western trip for Atlanta, which took a six-game losing streak to Golden State on Friday ... It's Utah's first look at the Hawks since they acquired longtime Sacramento point Mike Bibby ... Atlanta ended a nine-game losing streak to Utah despite Carlos Boozer's 39-point, 12-board double-double in December, but the Jazz have won 13 straight series home games ... The Hawks' last win here: Feb. 13, 1993, when Dominque Wilkins scored 43.
