MARVIN WILLIAMS WATCH, GAME 28
[actual post Sat ~6:40a]
The Atlanta Hawks hung in against the New Jersey Nets but the latter team led for good after former Kansas Jayhawk point guard Jacque Vaughn nailed a jumper to put an 85-84 lead with 4:53 to go. It was a lead the Nets wouldn't surrender en route to a 99-91 win. Yes, the Hawks ran into a hot team of Nets, as this was the eighth straight win for New Jersey.
Bremerton High 2004 graduate Marvin Williams scored seven points in a mere nine minutes off the bench. He shot 2-for-3 from the field (1-for-2 from beyond the arc), and was 2-for-2 from the line. He also grabbed an offensive rebound and was whistled for four fouls, more than likely the reason he only got nine minutes.
The Hawks go into 2006 with a 7-21 record. They host the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
