"Toward the end of the game they executed their offense and ran their plays to perfection," said Johnson. "We couldn't get any stops at the end."
Johnson deposited 28 points and Marvin Williams added 23 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks, who have lost three of their last four games. Anthony Johnson scored 17 points in his Hawks debut and Josh Smith finished with 14 for Atlanta, which finished 1-2 in its three-game homestand.

The Hawks opened the second with a 20-5 run, capped by a Solomon Jones layup, giving Atlanta a 44-43 edge midway through the quarter.
Moments later Phoenix embarked on a 13-0 surge, highlighted by a Marion dunk on its way to a 60-53 lead at the intermission.
