Johnson Leads Hawks Over Cavs 103-102 In Overtime

ATLANTA (AP) – Joe Johnson hit a tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation and knocked down a baseline jumper with 10 seconds left in overtime, giving the Atlanta Hawks a 103-102 victory over the
Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

The Hawks rallied from 16 points down early on and a six-point deficit in OT, pulling even on Johnson’s third trey of the night and a three-point play by Josh Smith, who led Atlanta with 32 points and 17 rebounds.

Cleveland reclaimed the lead when Tristan Thompson made one of two free throws. After a timeout, the Hawks went to Johnson, who spun away from Kyrie Irving and made the shot over Alonzo Gee.

Cleveland had two shots at the end. Irving missed and Gee botched a follow from right underneath the hoop.
