Johnson Makes Hawks History with Triple-Double in a Half

Jalen Johnson supplied 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, 16 assists, and two steals across 38 minutes in Friday's 134-133 loss to the Nuggets. Johnson became the first Atlanta Hawks player in franchise history to record a triple-double in a single half. He tied his career high in rebounds and set a new one in assists. This marks his third triple-double in just 21 regular-season games, matching Doc Rivers (1987-88) for the most in a single season in franchise history. Johnson has also scored at least 20 points in four straight games.
