The Atlanta Hawks’ 102-99 win over the San Antonio Spurs was all but sealed Monday afternoon when Dennis Schroder drove to the basket and put the Hawks up by three points with 10.2 seconds left.

The five-year veteran from Germany drove to the basket and nailed a layup of the top of the backboard to give the Hawks a 98-95 lead.

Schroder finished the Hawks win with 26 points and recorded five rebounds and seven assists.

The Hawks turn around and host the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Philips Arena.
