Johnson, Hawks recover late to top Kings, 100-98

"We play hard," Evans said. "We've just got to find a way to put away that type of game. We always start out good, then we let it kind of slip away. We fight to the end of the game, we've got to learn how to close out games."

Horford set a career high by blocking seven shots.
