What a difference 48 hours can make. As you might recall, Wednesday night didn’t go so well for the Atlanta Hawks. Against the Detroit Pistons, a 42-18 first quarter doomed them from the start, leading to a blowout loss. There was some concern within the Hawks fan universe that this loss would snowball into something more.
The team didn’t let that happen. They bounced back in a major way, defeating the Chicago Bulls 102-93. This time, Atlanta was the team that got off to a roaring start. At the end of one quarter, the Hawks held a 35-13 lead.
