    Joe Johnson wasn't too concerned when Atlanta trailed Minnesota by 18 points late in the third quarter.

    He could sense the Hawks were finally figuring out how to defend Kevin Love.

    "We started focusing in on him and doubling him a lot more and trying to make it tough for him, but he's a load down there, man," Johnson said. "He did a great job of keeping them in the ballgame. He's a hell of a player."

    Johnson scored 25 points, Ivan Johnson hit the clinching free throws with 4.6 seconds remaining and the Hawks rallied from 18 points down to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 93-91 on Saturday night.
