Owner Real Deal Posted December 6, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21283069.jpg ATLANTA -- Josh Smith raised his arms, looked up and let out a roar after coming through with the play that ensured it would be a winning night for his Hawks -- and a happy birthday for him. Smith's steal, jam and free throw with 31 seconds remaining extended Atlanta's lead and the Hawks held on to beat the Denver Nuggets 108-104 on Wednesday night. Smith had 16 points and 13 rebounds on his 27th birthday. He called his three-point play "icing on the cake." "I kind of anticipated the play," Smith said of his steal from Ty Lawson. "I saw Corey Brewer coming and I wanted to go to the basket strong." Brewer was called for a foul. Smith added the free throw for a 106-101 lead, giving the Hawks the ability to withstand a late 3-pointer by Andre Iguodala. Al Horford led the Hawks with 25 points and 12 rebounds. Lou Williams, who had 16 points, made four free throws in the final minute. Hawks coach Larry Drew called the win "a gutsy performance" as his team bounced back from Friday's 113-111 loss to Cleveland that snapped a six-game winning streak.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121205_DEN@ATL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
