ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Mike Bibby, Shooting guard Joe Johnson, Small forward Marvin Williams, Power forward Al Horford, Center Zaza Pachulia. Bench -- Guard Flip Murray, Guard Acie Law IV, Guard Mo Evans, Forward Solomon Jones.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Flip Murray was huge in the second half again Wednesday night, scoring 10 of his 16 points as the Hawks pulled away in the fourth quarter. Murray's ability to shrug off bad games and bounce back with clutch performances is what makes him so valuable.
--G Mike Bibby scored 18 points on 6-for-14 shooting, including a 4-for-9 performance from beyond the three-point line. When the Hawks have needed Bibby the most this season he's come through. And on a night when Joe Johnson struggled with his bad toe, Bibby was huge.
--C Zaza Pachulia had a quiet night against the Bucks, playing just 10 minutes as both teams went to their smaller, quicker lineups. Pachulia also had his injured left shoulder wrapped after the game but insisted that he's fine and will ready to go in Toronto and Washington.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--F Josh Smith (ankle) is set to resume practicing and is scheduled to return sometime in the next week.
