What
You Really Need To Know
The Hawks got a much-needed confidence boost by blowing out the Clippers,
seizing control early on and never letting up. Everyone who played did well, and
it was exactly the kind of game the team needed before they head on the road for
a crucial three-game road trip. The game finished with no problems, even though
it appears a tornado may have ripped through the downtown Atlanta midway through
the fourth quarter. Fortunately no one was hurt (to the best of my knowledge),
but there was extensive damage in the area several blocks around Philips Arena
and Centennial Olympic Park.
Fantasy MVP: Joe Johnson
I wanted to choose Mike Bibby, who had a double-double at the half, but I have
to give it to Joe for his 3rd quarter performance. JJ hit 6 threes on his way to
21 points in the stanza, a season-high for a Hawks player in one quarter. He
finished the game with 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and a sweet block on
Corey Maggette under the basket.
