The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Phoenix Suns 124–122 on November 16 at Footprint Center, with Omer Okongwu and Nickeil Alexander-Walker leading the way with 27 and 26 points respectively. Atlanta's offensive efficiency proved decisive, posting a 119.7 rating compared to Phoenix's 114.7, while the Hawks' 14 three-pointers and 35 assists showcased their ball movement advantage over the Suns' 10 made threes and 23 assists. Devin Brooks scored 34 for Phoenix and Devin Booker added 27, but the Suns' 48.5 percent field-goal shooting and 119.7 defensive rating couldn't overcome Atlanta's balanced attack. The fourth quarter proved pivotal—the Hawks erupted for 47 points in the final frame to edge out a Phoenix team that managed just 27 in the same period, erasing what had been a tight contest through three quarters. Both teams turned the ball over 17 times, but Atlanta's superior three-point shooting and assist volume ultimately separated the teams. The result underscores Atlanta's resilience on the road and raises questions about Phoenix's late-game execution.
