MARVIN WILLIAMS WATCH, GAME 31
[actual post Sat ~9:42p]
The Atlanta Hawks capitalized on Chris Paul's recent injury to get a home win by a 101-93 margin over the displaced Hornets. The Hawks led by four at half and stretched the lead to double digits in the second half. The Hornets were no closer than four after a Joe Johnson three with 4:25 to go.
Bremerton High 2004 graduate Marvin Williams had one of his better games of the season, scoring 11 points on 4-for-7 shooting from the field (2-for-2 from beyond the arc) and 1-for-2 shooting from the line in 25 minutes off the bench. He grabbed seven rebounds (two offensive) and recorded a steal and a block to offset a turnover and two fouls.
The Hawks will host the Celtics on Tuesday. They already have beaten the Celtics twice.
