The Houston Rockets didn't have Nike Basketball's "Beard Project" in Star Sniper James Harden still they had the 2014-15 Atlanta Hawks on the ropes. The Rockets up every frame by at least nine points self-implodes in the 4th as the Hawks four All-Stars rally to get a 104-96 win that will define these 2014-15 Hawks.

Houston gets huge contributions from former Hawks 1st Rounders Jason "Jet" Terry and Josh "J-Smoove 5" Smith as they combined for 35 points shooting 6 for 14. Nonetheless the Hawks down nine after one, fourteen at the break, and nine at the end of three got on their horse.

Led by Hawks All-Star PG Jeff Teague (25 points 6 assist) and his Caddy Dennis Schroder (16 pts 8 asst) the Hawks went on a 32-15 4th frame run to clsoe out the Rockets 104-96. Paul Milsap (16 pts 14 rebs) , Big Al Horford (18 pts 8 rebs), and the Hawks Super-Glue Demarre Carroll (11 pts) all joined in in the 4th.

The Rockets were +18 in points from the arc but lived and died by the "J" getting to the stripe just nine times to the Hawks 21 attempts. Terrence Jones added 18 points and grabbed eight boards with impressive "Big" Donatas Motiejunas chipping in with 14 points and eight boards waiting on seven tables as who needs "Dwight of three Stripes"!

Atlanta rolls to 48-12 as the Rockets fall to 41-19...and no Harden to close cost Red Nation in the end!
