Hawks down by 10 at Half.

Teague and Josh playing well, everyone else is struggling.

We were outrebounded 25-14 in the 1st half.

We need a Center.

Al destroys them in the second half.

Al IS a Center. We need a rebounder.

Beautiful second half by Horford.

JT0 and AL have really established some strong on-court chemistry together.

Hopefully those two can get to play together for the next 7 or 8 years and leave their mark unlike any other Hawks.

Jeff Teague was the trigger of a 16-0 run in the fourth quarter, during which he had an 8-0 run by himself. He finished with 24 points and 13 assists, giving him his ninth 20-point/10-assist game on the season, which is third in the league behind LeBron James and Tony Parker.

Where was this team.. in indiana grr! GO HAWKS

The Hawks clinched a playoff spot with this win, giving them their sixth consecutive trip to the postseason. While the Hawks often seem overlooked, this streak of playoff appearances is currently the longest active run in the Eastern Conference.

Bingo. THAT'S the question.

The next major step for this team is to play at a high level game in and game out. Either the players learn to pace themselves (and push harder) or Drew needs to improve his bench usage to give the starters more rest.

And CHI just knocked off Miami without Joakim or D-Rose.

We need smart, hard working players on our team like Taj and Luol.

Effort would never be an issue with guys like that on our roster.

And they did it with defense and rebounding. Blue collar play and smart heads up basketball.

Tom Thibodeaux should get some serious Coach of the Year consideration.

What a second half come back to win the game.

Great 2nd half, really happy that Miami lost
