Hendu Helps Hawks Rebound, Snap Losing Streak

He says he hadn’t put up numbers like he did tonight since college, and the much maligned forward turned center Alan Henderson was right on the money. In fact, he was right on the money all night against the Seattle Supersonics, leading the Hawks attack on the glass (55-32 rebounding edge) en route to a 119-116 win in OT.

RealGM's Jason Walker recaps the game and gets all the notes and quotes from tonight's thriller.

Hawks Take a Step Back

It has become clear that the Hawks have a ways to go before they can make good on their infamous playoff guarantee. No one event or incident can validate that claim more than Saturday night’s 109-99 beating at the hands of the Boston Celtics.

RealGM's Jason Walker was there and has the recap and reaction from the game.

Hawks fail to close out pesky Celts

The Hawks learned something about winning on the road Friday night. They learned that they better show more toughness.

"They turned it up," Glenn Robinson said of the Boston Celtics.

"They played much more physically," Shareef Abdur-Rahim noted, "and the refs were going to call it. They were going to make us decide it."

That is exactly what these two teams will do again tonight in Philips Arena. The Hawks, who played poorly on Wednesday and were routed, now must deal with the disappointment of being beaten 105-98 in double overtime after building a 13-point lead with 8:47 to play. They led by 11 with 5:26 left.
