Same Hawk Town.........Same Hawk Team...

Some things never change.

A half empty arena........a half baked effort....and a 108-91 loss.

At around 11:00 pm EDT last night,  with the Atlanta Hawks up by 9 on the Milwaukee Bucks  with 4 minutes left......I went to bed.   I went to sleep confident these Hawks were going to go up 3-2 in the series  and close it out Friday in Wisconsin.

Well........a funny thing happened in those last 4 minutes.
