John Battle (27pts/6asts) Forces OT with Three vs. Jazz (1987)
You would think that Nique scoring 46 would be enough to beat the visiting Utah Jazz. However, Atlanta needed every one of John Battle's 27 points to squeeze past the visitors. Some cool nifty moves by Battle off the dribble. John came especially big during the end of the game when he, first off, took over the point guard duties and made a couple of big plays and then, second off, saved Atlanta by making a buzzer-beating corner three to force the overtime. December 19, 1987.
