Onyeka Okongwu scored a season-high 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Atlanta Hawks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 114-111 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night at State Farm Arena.

Okongwu shot 11 of 17 from the field and made four 3-pointers. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 25 points, Aaron Wiggins scored a season-high 20 points with seven rebounds off the bench, and Jalen Johnson finished with 17 for Atlanta (3-3), which also ended Cleveland’s three-game winning streak and extended its home winning streak against the Cavaliers to five games.

Cleveland raced to a 28-16 first-quarter lead, the fourth straight game in which Atlanta trailed by at least 15 points, and led 35-24 in the second quarter before the Hawks answered with a 19-2 run to take a 46-44 halftime lead. Atlanta scored 43 points in the third quarter and led 89-82 entering the fourth.

James Harden led Cleveland (3-2) with a season-high 24 points and Donovan Mitchell added 22. Atlanta led by 10 with 4:37 remaining, but Mitchell cut the margin to one on a driving layup with 20.6 seconds left. Alexander-Walker made two free throws with 15.3 seconds remaining, and Mitchell missed two potential tying 3-point attempts on the final possession.

Atlanta plays at New Orleans on Saturday night, while Cleveland visits Milwaukee.
