News Pachulia, Childress and the rest head to Boston
Posted by Ken Edelstein on Sat, May 3, 2008 at 4:23 AM
Joe Johnson gets 15 points, Josh Smith 11. Al Horford collects only 5 rebounds. And the Hawks' still force a seventh game against the Celtics?
Amazing team effort tonight: Six guys in double figures, but the real hero may have been Zaza Pachulia, who scored 9 and played great defense on Kevin Garnett. This is the athletic, scrappy team I thought the Hawks had all season — more evidence the Billy Knight hasn't done such a bad job as GM.
The difference in Philips Arena tonight was remarkable, too. I'm hoarse and sweaty, and my ears are ringing. Is this what NBA playoffs normally are like? Since I'm from Atlanta, I don't remember.

I was glad to see Marvin Williams and Mike Bibby have big games, too. To be able to punish Boston for double-teaming Joe Johnson is huge. Hopefully Childress can step up if Marvin can't play Sunday.
