Hats off to the real reason why we won tonight

[Supporter]

Yes, Joe and Jamal were both terrific and played out of their brains tonight. And yes Josh showed up in the fourth when it mattered the most. But lets give the team props on the real reason they won tonight.

DEFENSE

We saw how they shut down Derrick Rose and how we didn't let their shooters kill us like usual.

We can't expect Joe and Jamal to shot 60%+ every game this series, but what we can expect is to play PLAYOFF DEFENSE like we did today!!!!

GO ATLANTA POSSUM HAWKS!!!

I happy to see the Hawks even get a win in Round 2! s*** to make it better we stole a game! thats wazzup. we take care of homecourt and its a wrap!

Greeat job by Teague staying in front of Rose.

Defense definitely had them flustered. I think we had about 3 steals early on digs down low, and it set a great, aggressive tone.

Another nice thing to see was putting Teague on Korver when he came in. They knew Jamal would not be able to make it around all those screens. Very good adjustment by LD.

Pffft. That's not the title of a classic rock song.

Was that the deal? I couldn't figure out why Rose wasn't just blowing by Jamal. Maybe Jamal did better than I give him credit for but Rose seemed unusually passive in the 4th with Jamal guarding him. It worked though. Great defense and rebounding by the Hawks.
