Atlanta is 34-31.
Full breakdown coming on the Locked On Hawks podcast.
Bam Adebayo has 70 points, if you're wondering how weird basketball can get in the NBA during the month of March.
(His previous career high was 41 points.)
Since the Mavs tied it, Jalen Johnson has 8 points and 2 assists in less than 3 minutes.
Star stuff there.
Klay Thompson has 13 points in the last 8 minutes and the Hawks lead is down to 2.
Okongwu +15 and Landale -11 looks about right so far.
(it's been ugly for jock)

At the end of the period, Atlanta's lead is down to 4.
Dallas hit 5 threes and put up 38 points in Q3.
The Hawks starters have been fairly dominant so far.
All five in double figures in scoring.
All five at +10 or better.
Atlanta leads by 12 mid-Q3.
Hawks lead the Mavs by 9 at the break.
Had a hiccup early in Q2 but recovered solidly down the stretch.
4 players in double figures for Atlanta already.

The Hawks have 5 points in the first 6 minutes of Q2 and it's a 4-point game.
2-10 from the field and 2 turnovers in the period.
Excellent Q1 for the Hawks to take a 14-point lead over the Mavericks.
58% shooting and only 3 turnovers for Atlanta.
Held Dallas to less than a point per possession on the other end.
Dyson Daniels doing Dyson Daniels stuff early with 4 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and a steal in 8 minutes.

hawks-mavs on deck
there's a boys and girls club gym that i used to play basketball in where the court looked a lot like what the Big 12 Tournament is using this week
Of note, Asa Newell, RayJ Dennis, and Keshon Gilbert are officially listed as "doubtful" on G League assignment.
College Park has a road game tonight in Illinois.
Watch Grid: Today we say goodbye to Gonzaga in the WCC. A bittersweet ending to the most lopsided conference we will probably ever see
Hawks rooting interests on Tuesday night:
- Grizzlies over Sixers
- Wizards over Heat (unlikely!)
- Rockets over Raptors
- Suns over Bucks
- Blazers over Hornets
noted on the pod that i recorded before the sixers-cavs game was over....
philly lost so atlanta is one (!) game behind the sixers now
and the hawks have the tiebreaker after sweeping the sixers this season
the sheer volume of college basketball i will consume over the next month is truly something
The Hawks are 9-point home favorites against the Mavericks tonight... if you enjoy that sort of thing.
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is listed as questionable for Atlanta.
Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively remain out for Dallas.
Atlanta aiming for a 7th straight win.
new pod
new locked on hawks going live shortly...
- state of the playoff race
