Hawks Report podcast: Looking back at the perfect week

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s new podcast, the Hawks Report hosted by Sarah K. Spencer, released its second episode Monday as the Hawks capped a perfect 4-0 week.

Following up the premiere featuring Hawks power forward John Collins, Spencer’s second guest is Hawks and Bally Sports Southeast play-by-play announcer Bob Rathbun. Rathbun shared his thoughts on the rise of second-year center Onyeka Okongwu, the defensive prowess of De’Andre Hunter and what the Hawks (21-25) need to do to continue trending in the right direction.

He also shared some personal stories from calling games over the years and his experience working with hall-of-famer Dominique Wilkins.
