Capela held back against the Suns. The Geneva native, who only played 20 minutes, scored just 3 points. Although he grabbed 8 rebounds, he finished the game with a -7 differential.

The Hawks' other point guard, Onyeka Okongwu, on the other hand, shone with 22 points and 21 rebounds. The man of the match for Atlanta, however, was point guard Trae Young, who scored 43 points - his record this season.

The Hawks, who had been beaten four times in their last five games, only decided the game in the final quarter when they turned a 101-101 lead into a 114-104 victory with a spurt in just over three minutes.
