Charlotte, NC (Basketball News) - Joe Johnson recorded his first-ever triple- double with 15 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, as Atlanta won 102-92 over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Jumaine Jones netted 13 points, while Melvin Ely had 11. Matt Carroll added 10 points for Charlotte, which played the second of a season-long six- game homestand.

A Jones jumper had the Bobcats within 60-54 with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, but a three by Lue capped six consecutive points by the Hawks and Atlanta led 74-63 heading into the fourth.
