Preview: Hawks host Jazz, aim to avoid fourth straight defeat
The season series finale. Despite positive flashes from the offense, the Atlanta Hawks succumbed to James Harden, Clint Capela and the Houston Rockets on Tuesday evening.

The young Hawks team made only 6 of their 22 3-point attempts and fouled the Rockets 13 times. Thanks to the Rockets going...
