Official Game Thread: Spurs "at" Hawks

[Sothron]

Millsap and THJ won this game. So glad we didn't need another Superman effort from Dwight and Dennis to win a game for once.

[ATLSmith]

Finally shot well from 3.  Sap and Hardaway killed it.

Hardaway and Sap and Hawkkksssssss!!!!

 

ATL ATL ATL ATL (chant goes on)

 

CONGRATS BUD OVER SANTA POP!!!

[Garchelino]

Unbelievable, two OT wins in a row and Bud finally beats Pop. 

Awesome perfomances by Millsap (his value increasing in case of trade) and THJ. Korver played a pretty good all around game. Love the resiliency against top tier teams. This team could be hard to beat by PO. We just need a bit of consistency.

GO HAWKS!

Great damn win. Lets hope they can keep this momentum going.

Props to Sap and Tim. They carried us tonight.

Still cant believe Leonard missed that shot to win it in the 4th then that lay up to tie it up in overtime.

That shot in the 4th looked good as soon as it left his hands but it rolled out.

Wow, huge win for Hawks! 

I didn't get to watch game live, went out with family. I have to watch the full replay asap.

Asked Paul Millsap if Bud was happier than he was letting on to finally beat the Spurs. "Of course."

Has to be a big relief for Bud. Good day for him too.

This team is so weird. I've never been lower on the Hawks than I have been at times during this season, but then they have these games that make them look better than the 60-win team. It's appropriate that the trade rumors pop up right before we have an OT win over the team that has owned us for decades. I'm still not pumped about our postseason prospects, but this team does seem to play to the level of their competition.

Thought this one was on later so I cheered the box score.  Looks like Sap and THJr broke their slumps in very big ways.  Starting guards had very little impact based on the numbers but the bench stepped it up between Jr and Korver.  Was very happy to see Bud kept the starting wings on the bench when our reserves got hot.  (Read that to mean he played THJr and limited Baze's time).

I take back everything bad I've ever said about Timmy. Dude made big strides in his redemption tonight. Absolutely killed it.

Baze on the other hand ... shyte. Dude can't even get a decent percentage of his free throws.

It did feel like more than just another game for Timmy. Felt like he turned a page in his progression. Hope it boosts his confidence level!

Ok I witnessed THJ being red hot but I didn't notice that he was 11-13 from the floor including 6-7 from downtown.....wow....and for good measure he threw in 5 boards and an assist with a Hawk high +/- 14 efficiency. GO Timmy!!!!
