ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Mike Bibby, Shooting guard Joe Johnson, Small forward Marvin Williams, Power forward Josh Smith, Center Al Horford. Bench -- Guard Flip Murray, Guard Acie Law IV, Guard Mario West, Guard Mo Evans, Guard Speedy Claxton, Forward Thomas Gardner, Forward Othello Hunter, Forward Solomon Jones, Forward/center Zaza Pachulia, Center Randolph Morris.
PLAYER NOTES: --F Solomon Jones turned in some quality minutes in relief after C Al Horford turned an ankle before halftime. Jones finished with just two points but had five rebounds, three assists and a steal.
--G Acie Law IV played five minutes and didn't make a dent other than missing a 3-pointer and having one turnover. His days in a Hawks uniform seem to be numbered, particularly if he can't leave any bigger footprint in a game than he did in Game 5.
--G Mo Evans continues to work at the small forward spot while Marvin Williams is injured. He didn't shoot the ball well Wednesday and he was 1-for-5 from beyond the 3-point line, but he did everything else well.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--C Al Horford (sprained right ankle) was injured in Game 5 of the Miami series. He hopes to be able to play in Game 6.
--F Marvin Williams (sprained right wrist) has missed three games and doesn't appear likely to play until at least next week.
