Atlanta, however, does have up to three first-round draft picks this summer.The Hawks led 108-107 with 2:14 to play when the two teams got into a kerfuffle that resulted in the ejections of Atlanta guard Isaiah Taylor and Phoenix guard Elfrid Payton, and technical fouls on Prince and Jackson.Phoenix continues its four-game road trip at Miami on Monday. The Suns will play at Oklahoma City and Charlotte before returning home March 12 to take on Cleveland.The Hawks take off for a difficult two-game road swing, beginning with a trip to Toronto on Tuesday to take on the Raptors, who own the best record in the Eastern Conference.For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com" target="_blank">Sports website.</a>
