The Hawks were leading the game 83-78 at the start of the 4th quarter, but they then were out-scored 25-18 to finish the game…which was a loss.  The Hawks just didn’t play any defense as they allowed the Bucks to hit 50.7% from the floor.  The Hawks did out-rebound the Bucks 45-33 in the game, but it didn’t wind up mattering in the end.

Joe Johnson had an outstanding game with 29 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.  Tyronn Lue came off of the bench firing as he scored 29 points & dished out 7 assists.  Josh Childress also had a good game off of the bench with 21 points & 7 rebounds.  Shelden Williams scored 4 points and snatched 15 rebounds.  Josh Smith had a bad game shooting (1 of 12 from the floor) only scoring 4 points, but he grabbed 5 rebounds, dished out 2 assists, stole the ball 3 times and blocked 3 shots.

The young Hawks need to learn how to finish games, as they fell to 4-4 on the season.
