Keyonte George achieved a career-high 35 points but it wasn't enough to halt the Utah Jazz's ongoing woes, suffering a 147-135 defeat to the Atlanta Hawks. This loss marks the Jazz's ninth straight defeat and leaves them with only one victory in their last 20 games. Meanwhile, the Hawks showcased a formidable offensive display, with Onyeka Okongwu scoring 27 points and Trae Young contributing 23 points and 15 assists, helping Atlanta maintain the lead throughout the game.

The Jazz struggled defensively, allowing 81 points in the first half, indicating a defense that has faltered significantly in recent outings. Despite George's efforts and additional contributions from Collin Sexton and Isaiah Collier, who tallied 27 points and 17 points with 12 assists respectively, the Jazz cannot find a consistent rhythm, particularly on the defensive end, having surrendered at least 140 points in three consecutive games.
