Reactions: The Bad
- Everything was going just fine for the Hawks in the fourth quarter, and then it almost seemed like the Atlanta players on the floor realized that Horford and Carroll were sitting and started to panic. The Hawks need to trust in themselves and their system, and then buckets will come naturally by virtue of patience.
- Speaking of patience, Jeff Teague had very little of it in that stretch. Teague had an excellent game overall, but tried to force the issue when it mattered most, with little success. He then got so flustered that he missed back-to-back free throws that could have proven incredibly costly on another night.
