Johnson-less Hawks Embarrass Cavaliers At Quicken 99-83
The Atlanta Hawks were without the services of leading scorer Joe Johnson due to a sprained thumb suffered on Saturday, prior to their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena.

76ers Bench Shines In Fourth, Beat Hawks 105-100
The Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers are two teams that are polar opposites of each other, especially with the NBA regular season winding down.

Celtics Win 12th Straight, Pluck Hawks 102-90

You have the Big Three (Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen) and Rajon Rondo who have been the main reason that Boston has won 11 straight games prior to their [...]
Trio Of Hawks Ailing
The good news for the Atlanta Hawks is that they’re undefeated at 5-0. The bad news is that the team paid a price for those victories. Forward Marvin Williams, after tests were ran, is suffering from just a bone bruise on his right knee and may miss just one game; he is listed as day-to-day [...]
Third Quarter 30-6 Run Helps Hawks Blitz Jazz 96-83
During the Atlanta Hawks’ game against the Utah Jazz at Philips Arena, neither team shot very well; both shot well under 50 percent (Atlanta shot 44.6% while Utah bricked at 42.9%), yet when it mattered the most, Atlanta scored big as they exploded on a 30-6 run in the third quarter before coasting to the 96-83 [...]
