I would have very much liked to have beaten Golden State tonight, and in many ways the Hawks could and should have done just that.
But they didn't, and in this case, I'm not too upset about it. Golden State played very well tonight and hit a lot of tough, contested shots. The way they shot it, I think they'd beat a large amount of the teams in the League. The Hawks played ok, but after the injury to Marvin Williams just lacked the firepower to match the Warriors hot shooting.
The loss obscured an excellent effort off the bench by both Maurice Evans and Flip Murray, who each played larger minutes than normal and made huge contributions.
The Hawks finish the West Coast trip 1-2 and banged up. The report on Marvin is that he should be fine, but they will keep him overnight in a local hospital just in case.
Hopefully the team will take the next two days to rest up before they host the Raptors in an MLK matinee on Monday at Philips Arena.
