Hawks forward Marvin Williams played through the pain in right leg Saturday night, knowing that what's at stake every night is far more important than a little discomfort. "I got kneed in the thigh against the Clippers," Williams said. "He got me pretty good, too. But I've got to play through this." Hawks coach Mike Woodson said he'll have to monitor Williams' minutes to make sure he does not aggravate the injury. He looked fine early Saturday, leading the Hawks with 14 points at halftime. He finished the game with a game-high 24 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two highlight-reel dunks. But after the game he was feeling the pain in his leg. "I don't know how Joe played on that thing [during the Western Conference road trip]," Williams said. "It's unbelievable that he was able to get up and down the floor with this injury, because I'm feeling it right now."

Marvin has some heart and his facial expressions show it on both ends of the court. He might not be the most skilled defender, but you can tell he's really worked on his game, and he's only going to continue to improve.
