Josh Smith was one agonizing point shy of his first career
triple-double on Monday, and for today's trivia question we asked who
was the last Hawks player to accomplish the feat.
The answer is Joe Johnson,
who rang up his first career tripadub (is that street lingo for it? it
should be if it's not) last Feb. 1 at Charlotte, finishing the game
with 15 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. Congrats to Ying-Ju H., who wins tonight's tickets.
Incidentally, the last Hawks opponent to record a t/d was none other than Miami Heat PG Gary Payton,
who the Hawks will face tonight. Payton did it as a member of the
Lakers during the 2003-04 season, scoring 23 points to go with 10
assists and 10 rebounds.
Back with more in a bit to preview
tonight's game, which, if I didn't mention before (or this is the first
time you are reading the blog today), I will be doing a live-blog for.
