As Hawks' Johnson posts consecutive triple-doubles, Snyder warns "there's more"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Atlanta Hawks coach Quin Snyder believes fifth-year forward Jalen Johnson is still a work in progress. If he’s right, it’s a terrifying prospect for opponents.

Johnson continued his emergence with his second triple-double in two nights Saturday, finishing with 30 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in a 131-116 win over the Washington Wizards.
