Analysis: In second stint with Hawks, Dewayne Dedmon starts off strong

1. Before the game, the Hawks introduced their three new players acquired at the trade deadline: Clint Capela, Dewayne Dedmon and Skal Labissiere. Capela (right calcaneus contusion/plantar fasciitis) and Labissiere (left knee chondral injury) are out with injury, but Dedmon made an impact in his first game back with the Hawks, having played his best basketball with the franchise the past two seasons before signing with Sacramento in free agency. The 7-foot-tall center was the rim protector the Hawks needed, tying his season-high with five blocks, to go with 10 points and eight rebounds. He fouled out early in double overtime, but is already starting off his second stint in Atlanta on the right foot.
