Utah up next
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nice win for the Hawks vs. Golden State in Oakland . The Hawks have now won five in a row away from Philips. The Hawks did turn the ball over a lot, though, and it almost cost them.
The Utah Jazz are next. The good news for Hawks fans is that Carlos Boozer (22.1 ppg) is out and will not play. The bad news is that the Jazz are still a good team w/o him.
The Jazz are ranked sixth in the NBA in offense (102.4ppg) and are 74.4% from the free throw line. More good news for Hawk fans: The Hawks have already beaten the NBA’s number one offense (Phoenix) and swept the season series against the NBA’s number three (Golden State).
Since the Hawks are in the top ten in NBA defense, giving up only 96.7 points a game, the trick will be to keep Utah close. If they can do that, they should be able to get another road win.
