I bet you real Atlanta Hawks Fans who have been there with the Hawks and the Low Light Factory for quite sometime is licking your chops as the Logo turns all heads to ATL! The big NBA Southeast Showdown between the Wizards and Hawks was going well for both as the Hawks led just 55-50 at the break.

That lead moved to 87-77 after three then the real Hawks showed up in the 4th when it mattered most. Behind some eight Hawks in double figures led by Kyle Korver's 19 points ( 5-7 3pt FG) and 16 points from DeMarre Carroll the Hawks went on a 33-12 binge in the 4th as the only Hawks who didn't score was the great Dominique Wilkins.

To make matters worse the Hawks almost hit those magic numbers of  50% 50% 80% from the field, arc, and the stripe. Atlanta shoots 47% (FG) 51% (3pt FG) and 83% (FT). That arc was sizzling for the Highlight Factory shooting 16 for 31.

The Wiz Kids D.C. with Wall's Wings & Burgers stuck up by Hawks Players shot 5 for 20 from Stone Mountain and Smyrna (Atlanta Suburbs) and had 19 turnovers. Wall-Star led with 15 points and eight helpers as the Wizards fall to 25-12. The Hawks move to an amazing 29-8 and it's officially Spurs Southeast in the 404.

They may have a four-headed monster of Core Players in Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, Paul Miklsap, and Big Al Horford. But a Spurs-like bunch is the sum of all its parts and the Hawks have run with that Spurs Blue Print implemented by ex-Spurs Assistant and Highlight Factory lead man Mike Budenholzer.
