Player of the Game

The win streak stands at 5 and the Hawks are now 8-4
Al Horford (4)
Kyle Korver (2)
Josh Smith (1)
Notes: Zaza Pachulia for a second straight night did a little bit of everything and his contribution went beyond his already impressive numbers, he had 19 points on 7-9 shooting and had a team high 12 rebounds; Jeff Teague is blossoming into an elite playmaker as he gets double digit assists for a second straight night with 11, he also had 19 points on 7-14 shooting, very impressive indeed; Josh played Small Forward and was effective at his adapted position, he had 17 points and shot 7-9 from the field!! He resisted the urge to take stupid jump shots and it payed dividends; Lou was a major spark off the bench, leading the second unit with 18 points, he also racked up 5 assists one of them being a wonderful pass to Al for an and one layup at the very end of the half.
Just missed the cut:
Anthony Morrow: he had only 9 points on 3-8 shooting, (unimpressive numbers to say the least) but he did contribute in the first quarter when given the chance, he started a rally that ended up being an 18-0 run for us into the 2nd quarter
What I'd like to see: Despite Josh's wonderful shooting night he only had 2 rebounds, now he was at SF and wasn't in the game much due to the blowout but I'd like to see more than only 2 rebounds for Josh; I'd like to see Al hit a free throw, again he only shot one tonight but he needs to get out of this FT slump; I'd like to see Korver hit his open shots, on more than one occasion Korver had an open 3 and missed it, we're paying him 5 mil this season for him to hit open shots, he needs to do what he's payed to do.
