The Jazz scored 90-86 on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks in what is their fourth consecutive win, while the Hawks had the fourth successive loss, after starting the season with six straight wins. Out of the Hawks’ losses, three were at home.
According to Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams, the team has very good chemistry in the field and he hopes the team’s winning streak will continue. Despite the wins however, he said he would prefer better play in the first half, so that heroic deeds in close to the end of game time wouldn’t be necessary.
The Jazz fate in the game was turned around when Paul Millsap hit a corner jumper, marking the team’s comeback from a double-digit deficit in the second half.
During the whole game, the Hawks only made 11 out of 21 free throws. Al Horford of the Hawks said that the loss was hard to take and blamed himself for missing on the free throws at the end.
In one of their previous wins Utah Jazz scored 109-107 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
