Marvin Williams had a huge game. But so did Shaq. And that was the difference. When the Hawks traveled to Phoenix last night, they ran into a buzzsaw in the form of a red-hot Shaquille O'Neal. It definitely didn't help things that Al Horford was inactive with an injury. The Suns built a 19-point lead on the Hawks before they battled back, took the lead, and then let it slip after the Suns three-point barrage (from Nash, Barbosa and Richardson) finally put them away. Pachulia fouled out banging against Shaq. Josh Smith was getting hosed by the ref (that was totally a block on Amare, he didn't touch him). Bibby and JJ did their best to try and keep us in the game, but ultimately it wasn't enough. And we lost our fourth straight. Meanwhile Orlando blew out another team.. but at least the Bobcats took down the Pistons. Hawks travel to L.A. and take on the Clippers tonight, hoping to snap this losing streak without Horford. And they better.
