Owner Real Deal Posted December 8, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21311935.jpg ATLANTA -- Larry Drew is waiting for the Hawks to develop a knockout punch. In the meantime, the coach isn't complaining as Atlanta continues to win the close games. Josh Smith had 23 points and 15 rebounds, Al Horford also posted a double-double and the Hawks beat Washington 104-95 on Friday night to keep the Wizards winless on the road. The Hawks led by 18 in the third quarter before Washington twice cut the lead to two points in the final period. "I think when we got the big lead we got a little complacent," Drew said. "We have to develop a killer instinct. Tonight, we didn't have it. We didn't do it." Drew acknowledged it's not such a bad thing to have to learn how to play with big leads. "It's something that you develop," he said. "It's something that just doesn't come overnight. I have all the confidence in our guys that we will develop." Horford had 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Hawks, who have won eight of nine, including only two by more than 10 points. The Hawks are third in the Eastern Conference and only one-half game behind Southeast Division leader Miami.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121207_WAS@ATL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
