Hawks on first five-game winning streak since 99'

Atlanta Hawks pull off their first five-game winning streak since 1999 The Hawks and Pacers are playing well this season, and I figured Jermaine O'neal is always worth watching down low. Pacers' O'neal was downright lazy on offense though. He wasn't even calling for the ball, and the 6'11" forward scored only 16 points in 38 minutes. He did knock down a double double by grabbing 10 rebounds, but I was looking for more major swatting and slamming. Marvin Williams, the #2 pick from N.C. in the 05' draft, was the only player I'd seen in action before. He pulled the same dunk on the Pacers I saw him put down against the Seminoles at the Civic Center. The game remained close though, and the Hawks only pulled away in the last two minutes to win by 12. Joe Johnson earned a little of my respect too. Johnson's 26 was impressive, and some of his shots were pretty flashy.
