The Hawks defeated the Sixers tonight 86-75, and what a great win it is for them ending their 3 game losing streak. Not having Iverson in the game was absolutely huge for Atlanta. Hawks just wiped the floor with the Sixers tonight, Philly, like every other team that have lost to the Hawks, most likely went into the game expecting an easy win. Just another example of why you can never underestimate any team in the NBA, even the Hawks. SJax was key for the Hawks tonight with 24 points and 11 boards, it's going to be a big loss when the Hawks lose him after this season. Chris Crawford who has really stepped up as of late had 19 points and Jason Terry had 17 points, 7 boards, and 5 assists. Eric Snow led the way for the Sixers with 17 points, 6 assists, and 5 boards. Willie Green also had 14 points and Aaron Mckie had 10. Dalembert spent 32 minutes in the game and came up with only 4 points, but he also had 12 boards. Great win for the Hawks, i'm sure they were happy when they found out AI wouldn't be playing and one can only imagine how the game would have went if AI was on the floor.
