The young Hawks gave an outstanding effort Wednesday Night in Detroit….but fell just a tad short.

Joe Johnson had a good game with 25 points and 4 rebounds.  Rookie Shelden Williams had a monster game with 20 points & 13 rebounds.  Zaza Pachulia was banging in the paint with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.  Tyronn Lue came off the bench and added 16 points and 4 rebounds.  Josh Smith was pretty busy with 8 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Hawks fell to 4-5 with this loss.
