Hawks Snap Skid, Clippers Still Awful

Bookmark

Before the season, the Los Angeles Clippers went out and signed Baron Davis and Marcus Camby, drafted Eric Gordon, and bring back first-year badass Al Thornton. But they're still awful. Luckily for Atlanta (without Al Horford), riding a three-game losing streak. Atlanta beat them up and down the floor and ran away with this one, maintaining a double-digit lead for the majority of the second half. Despite having trouble containing Camby (12pts, 18reb), Josh Smith and Joe Johnson went for over 20 and helped fend off the otherwise hapless Clippers. Well that is except Al Thornton. The second-year, 6'8" forward from FSU took over late in the game both inside and outside. I knew this guy was good, but watching him last night (even with modest stats) I could see this guy is going to be something special. But still, not a good basketball team. Hawks win, meanwhile Detroit lost, so guess who's got back the fourth seed? Can you say homecourt advantage?
