Hawks Turn 180 Degrees, Shock Celtics

The Hawks had their backs against the wall. Down 2-0, Mike Bibby said this was a must-win for the Hawks. Every player says that when down a couple games into a series; it’s really cliche. Most people didn’t think the Hawks ever had a chance of getting within ten points of the Celtics by the end of any of the games. Well, in a complete turn-around, the Hawks came out swinging and ...
