Woodson Asks For Fans' Support
After a 99-95 win against Portland on Monday night, Woodson was asked if he was disappointed with the low attendance turnout at Philips Arena, especially since it was a matchup against two of the league's hottest teams. "All I can say to our fans is we need your support," said Woodson. "These guys are playing for something this year, man. It's fun watching us play. I know the fans are there and we just ask you to come out and support us because they [the players] need it. I think amazing things can happen when the house is filled." The official turnout of Monday's game was 12,997. However, it is unlikely that there were more than 3,000 fans in the stands at tip-off. The Hawks, however, are one of three teams that have not lost a game at home this year (Denver, Phoenix). They are 5-0 at Philips Arena.
