After 17 years, the Jazz was defeated by the Hawks

Feb 13, 1993 since the Hawks won against Utah Jazz, and today Feb 22, 2010 will be their milestone from their consecutive losses in this season.

Five players scored in doubles figures for the Hawks. Josh Smith had 18 points and nine rebounds. Jamal Crawford came off the bench to score 17 points with four 3-pointers.

Joe Johnson scores 28 points and the Hawks won in Utah for the first time in 17 years, beating the Jazz 105-100.

The Hawks definitely ended their 17 year drought in Utah, “We can’t make excuses,” says Jazz forward Paul Millsap. “That just gives other guys the opportunity to step up. For the most part we did a good job, but we just didn’t come out with the win.”

“Well, we made a couple mistakes trying to come down the stretch and turned the ball over a couple times and missed free throws that could help keep you in there,” said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. “But I thought our guys played hard, being short-handed and that kind of thing. I thought everybody tried to step up and play hard.” –Source: Nba.com
