Hawks’ Jalen Johnson posts eye-popping stat line seen for first time in 21st century

On Wednesday night, the Atlanta Hawks took advantage of a floundering Sacramento Kings team and embarrassed them in their own court. Despite Trae Young's absence, the Jalen Johnson -led Hawks put up a clinic on both ends of the court, as they demolished the Kings by 33 points, 133-100, in a game that was not as close as the final score would indicate, as lopsided as the game already was.

The Kings had so many identity issues that the Hawks tore them apart bit by bit, with Johnson taking advantage of the chaos. The burgeoning star forward put up 24 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists while making nine of his 10 shots from the field, and in so doing, he became the first non-center since 2000 to record a 24/10/8 game on 90 percent shooting in the league, as per StatMuse.
