Okongwu, Young help Hawks beat Jazz 147-134

ATLANTA (AP) — Onyeka Okongwu had 27 points and 12 rebounds, Trae Young added 23 points and 15 assists and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Jazz 147-134 on Sunday night, extending Utah's losing streak to nine games.

Caris LeVert scored 21, Dyson Daniels 19 and Vit Krejci made five 3-pointers and finished with 17 points on 6-of-6 shooting for the Hawks, who never trailed.

Young set up Okongwu for a layup and then fed Terance Mann for a three-point play to spark a 9-0 run that made it 131-114 when Mann threw down a put-back dunk with 7:54 to play.

Keyonte George led the Jazz with a career-high 35 points, including seven 3s. Collin Sexton added 27 points and Isaiah Collier scored 17 with 12 assists. Collier's 446 assists this season are the most by a rookie since Ja Morant had 488 in the 2019-20 season.

Jazz: Utah has lost at least eight consecutive games three times since mid-January and had one win in its last 20. The Jazz haven't won back-to-back games since road wins over the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic on Jan. 4 and 5.

Hawks: Atlanta was hot shooting the ball throughout the game, shooting 57% from the field and hitting 22 of 41 (53%) from 3-point range, but was porous defensively. Utah was 45-of-87 (52%) shooting, made 20 3s and scored 23 points more than its season average.

Young hit a 3-pointer from the logo to give the Hawks a 15-point lead with four minutes to play.

The Jazz gave up 81 first-half points to the Hawks, the second consecutive half in which Utah’s opponent scored at least 80. The Indiana Pacers scored 83 points in the second half of their 140-112 win over Utah on Friday.

The Jazz return home to play the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. The Hawks kickoff a three-game road trip Tuesday against the Orlando Magic.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — More than 20 people were killed in a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy on Sunday, officials said.

Two ballistic missiles struck the heart of the city at around 10:15 a.m. as people gathered to celebrate Palm Sunday, according to officials. Videos posted from the scene on official channels showed bodies on the ground amid debris and smoke around central Sumy.

“On this bright Palm Sunday, our community has suffered a terrible tragedy,” Acting Mayor Artem Kobzar said in a statement on social media. “Unfortunately, we already know of more than 20 deaths.”

At least 21 people were killed as a result of the attack, the Prosecutor General's Office said, citing initial investigation results. A further 83 people were injured, including seven children, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko wrote on social media.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that rescue efforts were ongoing and said “dozens” had been killed in the double missile attack.

“According to preliminary information, dozens of civilians were killed and wounded. Only filthy scum can act like this — taking the lives of ordinary people,” he said.

Zelenskyy also called for a global response to the attack. “Talks have never stopped ballistic missiles and aerial bombs. What’s needed is an attitude toward Russia that a terrorist deserves,” he said.

The strike comes less than a day after Russia and Ukraine’s top diplomats accused each other of violating a tentative U.S.-brokered deal to pause strikes on energy infrastructure, underscoring the challenges of negotiating an end to the 3-year-old war.

The two countries’ foreign ministers spoke at separate events at the annual Antalya Diplomacy Forum, a day after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss peace prospects.

“The Ukrainians have been attacking us from the very beginning, every passing day, maybe with two or three exceptions,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, adding that Moscow would provide the U.S., Turkey and international bodies with a list of Kyiv’s attacks during the past three weeks.

His Ukrainian counterpart, Andrii Sybiha, fiercely contested that claim, saying Saturday that Russia had launched “almost 70 missiles, over 2,200 (exploding) drones, and over 6,000 guided aerial bombs at Ukraine, mostly at civilians,” since agreeing to the limited pause on strikes.
