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 Mo Evans scored 17 points off the bench against the Raptors, doing his best to provide the extra scoring spark missing with Al Horford and Marvin Williams combining for just 20 points (10 each). While Evans turned in a yeoman's effort, the Hawks needed much more from his teammates.
--G Acie Law IV followed up a season-best performance in Cleveland last weekend with two efforts that barely left a footprint, due largely to not being used much in either the win over Milwaukee or the loss to the Raptors. The only thing more inconsistent than Law's minutes this season is the excuses given for why he's not a bigger part of the plan.
--C Zaza Pachulia turned in his second straight uneventful offensive performance but more than made up for it with another monster night on the glass. Pachulia grabbed 17 rebounds, eight offensive, to keep the Raptors from devouring the Hawks inside. Too bad he didn't match that total in points, scoring just three.
