The matchup on Sunday between the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns can easily be thought of as a no-bearing game, with both teams owning two of the worst records in the league today. However, that does not mean they can't have a highly-competitive meeting, which even went down the wire.
With the visiting team ahead by two points and the clock running out, Taurean Prince took matters in his own hands. He patiently waited for a screen to be set before making his move to the three-point line, and knocked down a clutch basket beyond the arc, which proved to be the game-winner. The Atlanta faithful cheered loudly as they saw the shot go in, as they knew it gave them the lead and their team only had to make one more stop in order to come out with the victory.

Prince had a solid outing, as he top-scored for Hawks with 22 points, to go along with five rebounds and two assists. Dennis Schroder also played a good game, recording 21 points, six rebounds, and six assists, while four other players from their team finished in double figures in scoring. The win was only their third in the last 10 games, but will definitely boost their confidence heading into their upcoming matches.
The Suns, on the other hand, were led by T.J Warren's 35 points and four rebounds, while Elfrid Payton recorded a triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, but their efforts were not enough to give them a victory on the night.
