Hawks End Road Streak
Tyronn Lue had a season-high 29 points and Al Harrington scored 28 as the Atlanta Hawks ended their 23-game road losing streak with a 116-112 overtime victory over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.
The Hawks, the NBA’s worst team, also ended their 13-game overall losing streak.
Lue and Harrington combined for 14 of Atlanta’s 15 points in overtime to lead the Hawks to their first win since Feb. 7, a 114-108 victory over the Lakers.
Atlanta, which had not won on the road since Dec. 10 against Detroit, is 3-30 away from home.
The Raptors had a chance to ice the game late in the fourth quarter, but Jalen Rose and Rafer Alston missed crucial free throws.
Lue’s jumper tied it at 101-101 with 6.1 seconds left, and Rose missed a 20-foot jumper at the buzzer to send the game into overtime.
