CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Josh Smith had 30 points and 13 rebounds, and the Atlanta Hawks snapped a 6-game road losing streak with a 104-92 win Wednesday night over the Charlotte Bobcats.
Kyle Korver added 21 points on 5 of 6 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc as the Hawks sent the Bobcats to their 16th straight home loss, three shy of the NBA record.
Smith finished two assists shy of a triple-double. Ivan Johnson added 12 points and 15 rebounds.
Ramon Sessions led the Bobcats with a season-high 27 points. Kemba Walker, who had a career-high 35 points on Monday, was limited to 11 on 4 of 11 shooting.
The win gave the Hawks a 4-game sweep of the season series and extended their overall winning streak to seven against the Bobcats.
