Hawks break away from Heat

Last night the Hawks regained the lead in their series with the Heat, winning 106-91, making the series 3-2. Atlanta had to do this with a short bench. Al Horford ended up being taken to the locker room and sitting the rest of the game after being fouled hard and landing on Dwayne Wade. Also Williams was out for his 3rd straight game with a sprained wrist. Mike Bibby also didnt play very much after he got his 4th foul so the Hawks had to reach deep into their bench with Soloman Jones and Mario West getting extensive minutes, which didnt happen during the regular season. The series is also starting to heat up with tempers flaring and the games getting physical. Last night there were a lot of hard fouls and fights that almost broke out. One started when Soloman Jones made a hard foul on Wade and Magloire came in and shoved Jones and then Smith shoved Magloire back before the refs came in and broke up the fight before punches could be thrown. All four players were given technicals for the incident. Another one was when Pachulia caught Jermaine O'Neal with an elbow to the head when he drove to the lane. The next time Pachulia came down the lane on the Heat side of the floor O'Neal caught him across the head also, neither of them were called a technical or flagerant foul.
