The Atlanta Hawks are a tough team to figure out. After ‘phoning it in’ for most of the final month of the NBA regular season most observers considered their prospects for postseason success minimal. So far, however, it’s looked like they were just ‘pacing themselves’ during the 82 games that preceded the playoffs. The Hawks have given the favored Orlando Magic fits during their opening round Eastern Conference series and despite a Game 5 loss they’ll return home to Phillips Arena with a 3-2 advantage and another opportunity to clinch in Game 6 on Thursday night.
