Game #19 LAC (12-6) @ ATL (9-10)

Poor defense true, but I think the Hawks would have beat any team last night. They were playing out of their minds. That Lou Williams 3 pointer was the back breaker.

Dudley is really going to need to start making his 3s especially because Redick is out. It would also be nice if Willie Green really stepped up in Redick's absence. They really miss reliable perimeter shooting

Team confidence might be in the crapper in regards to defense.

It was just one game. I haven't watched the Hawks this year before last night, but Budenholzer was definitely the better coach last night. The Hawks ran their offense very crisply and played decent defense. Of course the Spurs strategy of packing in the paint only works when you can't shoot 3s, so having Redick out and everybody remaining shoot lack garbage from the outside certainly was hurtful.
