They are struggling against a bad Brooklyn team, with their late game offense looking nothing like the movement-based offense that worked during the regular season. Hawks shot better from the field, had less turnovers and more rebounds, yet lost tonight to fall into a series tie. They have no answer for Lopez and now both Williams and Jack have had big games at guard.
They are in trouble. Even if they win this series, Washington will be rested and ready. Paul Pierce has more successful playoff experience than the entire Hawks roster combined.
