Hawks 105, Jazz 100
Game 56: Monday at EnergySolutions Arena
Utah played without injured All-Star point guard Deron Williams and starting power forward Andrei Kirilenko.
Atlanta shot 66.7 percent from the field in the fourth quarter — led by Joe Johnson's 4-for-5 shooting — to rally for the victory.
Utah had a balanced scoring attack, with eight players netting between nine and 14 points, but it wasn't enough to win its fifth straight game.
