Atlanta Hawks. JOHN COLLINS. A. John Collins seemed to be the only Hawk with any offensive life in the first half, keeping the team alive single-handily at times. Despite having the hot hand, Collins never rushed any ‘heat check-y’ shots nor did he force anything down low. He played consistent, mistake-free basketball that resulted in him tying his career high in points with 35. He nearly made half of the team’s threes, going 3-3 from range, adding 17 rebounds. He’s on pace for a 20-10 season, and tonight was probably his best game.. PF
