ATLANTA, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Al Horford shook off a hard foul with 0.6 seconds to play and hit two free throws Friday, giving the Atlanta Hawks a 101-100 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Horford went up for a potential winning layup just before the buzzer, but was slammed to the floor by the Clippers' Blake Griffin.

He struggled to his feet after the collision but was able to produce the winning points and finish with 23 for the game. Jamal Crawford paced Atlanta with 34 points, helping the Hawks win for the third time in four games.

Joe Johnson added 17 points for Atlanta, which hit 12-of-13 from the foul line.

Baron Davis scored 22 for the Clippers and Griffin had 19 points to go with 11 rebounds.

Atlanta had a 12-point lead to start the fourth quarter, but Los Angeles got back in the game with a 13-2 run.
