Bench Grades:

B +. <em>This </em>was the type of performance the Hawks paid big bucks for. Bogdanovic came off the bench and shot the lights out, nailing six 3s to finish with 22 points. Defense was questionable but his offensive firepower off the pine is something the Hawks haven’t had in years.. SG. Atlanta Hawks. BOGDAN BOGDANOVIC

C +. Coming off a red-hot debut with the Hawks, Rondo came back down to earth. He played 16 scoreless minutes but added six assists. He looks good running the second unit, always a plus for backup point guards.. PG. Atlanta Hawks. RAJON RONDO

B +. Another good night for Hill, who is filling the off-the-bench veteran role very well. He constantly makes high-effort, smart plays on defense and drilled three 3s on the other end.. SF. Atlanta Hawks. SOLOMON HILL

D. Six shots in 21 minutes isn’t exactly a good look for Huerter, who is supposed to be a high-volume sharpshooter off the bench. He was singled out on defense as well, something his team-worst plus/minus shows.. SG. Atlanta Hawks. KEVIN HUERTER

Not much to say for Bruno, who played just six minutes. He grabbed four rebounds and besides that, didn’t do much of anything.. C. Atlanta Hawks. BRUNO FERNANDO. C?

Note: Danilo Gallinari played three minutes before leaving with an ankle injury.
