John Collins

Funny how an opportune tip-in can turn a forgettable night into one you’ll remember forever. John Collins was just 1 for 8 from the field heading into the final Atlanta Hawks possession of a tie game, but he made up for the cold shooting performance by picking up Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, both of whom misfire in their own game-winning attempts. Collins gets perfect position in between a pair of Indiana Pacers and is able to put back Murray’s miss before the buzzer sounds, as the six-year pro finished with seven points and eight rebounds in Atlanta’s thrilling 113-111 win on January 13, 2023.
