After coming out with a performance they'd probably like to forget in their last home contest, the Atlanta Hawks will look to bounce back against a team that has struggled on the road in recent weeks.
Atlanta will try to avoid losing consecutive home games for the first time in more than two months Friday night when they meet a New York Knicks team coming off an impressive home win.
The Hawks (29-17) had won 11 of 12 home games prior to recording their lowest point total since relocating from St. Louis in 1968 with a 100-59 loss to New Orleans on Jan. 21.
Coach Larry Drew's team -- which shot a season-low 29.1 percent -- beat Charlotte by 16 the next night, but struggled again Wednesday against Milwaukee, as it was outscored 34-15 over the final 12 minutes of a 98-90 loss.
"We cannot allow the snowball effect in the fourth quarter -- especially when we have played so well and are right there and then to have a total collapse," Drew said. "We gave up 34 points in the fourth quarter. There is a high probability that we won't win many games giving up that point total in any quarter."
Al Horford returned after missing two games with a sprained right ankle to finish with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
"We just became stagnant on offense," said Horford, who is averaging 18.0 points and 11.8 rebounds against the Knicks over his career. "It's a lesson that we are still learning. I don't think it hurts enough yet because we haven't done anything about it."
Joe Johnson, who scored nine points against the Hornets for his third-lowest output of the season, came back with 32 versus the Bobcats before totaling 15 Wednesday. Since he was traded to Atlanta in 2005, Johnson is averaging 26.8 points against the Knicks at home.
The Hawks, who last lost consecutive games at Philips Arena on Nov. 20 and 22, had fallen in five of the last six meetings with New York before a 99-90 road win Nov. 27. Former Knick Jamal Crawford led Atlanta with 21 points.
New York (24-21) used one of its best defensive efforts of the season to defeat Miami 93-88 on Thursday. The Heat's point total was the second-lowest by a Knicks opponent.
"I think we played great defensively from the start," said Amare Stoudemire, announced before the game as the first Knick elected to start an All-Star game since 1992.
New York trailed by nine after three quarters, but outscored the Heat by 14 points in the fourth, giving it back-to-back wins following a season high-tying six-game losing streak. It also snapped a seven-game skid against the Southeast Division leaders.
"It's important for us mentally," said Danilo Gallinari, who finished with 20 points. "...Now we know we can beat them. It was an important win."
Stoudemire finished with 24 points and is second in the NBA with 26.0 per game. He has averaged 33.5 points over his last four visits to Atlanta while with Phoenix.
Landry Fields, third among rookies in 2010-11 with 10.0 points per game, registered 19 with 13 rebounds Thursday. He had 15 and 11 against Atlanta in November.
The Knicks, who lead the league in road scoring (105.8 points per game), have lost four straight and eight of 10 as the visiting team. They've been held to 93.0 points over the last three road games.
New York is 4-12 when scoring fewer than 100 points. Atlanta is allowing 92.5 points in its last 11 home games.

Jpz fire thread!! Lets do this tonight!! Majorrrrrrrr confiddence booster if we can do this. Wilson if your readin this , take that shit to the rim all day!!!!!!!!
 
Got a bad feeling about this one. The Hawks are one of the teams that don't suite our style of play at all (Orlando is another example).
We do best against teams like the Bulls.

Anyway, I hope the guys are not too tired after thursday night's tough game against Miami. If we want to win this one Felton and Chandler need to step it up! I don't know what on earth has happened to Felton. Up to that Laker game he was a flat out All-Star, after that he played like a piece of crap on offense. Well at least his defence was solid.

Chandler has been horrible on both ends of the floor lately, but fortunately it's only a short stretch so he might be his old self tonight.

Felton is a big enigma to me atm....we need him in his first 30 games of the season shape if we want to trouble the Bulls in the playoffs.
 
Landry Fields play ALOT of minutes last night, but he's young.. I look for Wilson Chandler to play better tonight. I think we'll pull out a tightly contested victory.. Bill Walker will also contribute...

I agree. They need to get back to that feeling they were playing with a month ago when they won 8 road games in a row and had a nice winning streak going beating teams like SA. We need to play more like that. It seemed like in the past few weeks they have totally forgot what it was they were doing right. Now it seems whatever can go wrong is. Lets hope they can build off that win last night and go on another 8or10 game winning streak

I like the Knicks' chances in a playoff series against the Celtics or the Heat over the Hawks, Magic, Sixers or Bucks.The Knicks always seem to get blown out by those 4 teams.
 
Hard fought game but our energy didn't pick up until the 3rd and 4th Quarter.Nice to see Shawne Williams showing that heart with a nice punch on Marvin Williams in that little fight

Missed the game. Don't think I'll bother watching it. Why was Chandler out? And how did STAT only manage 3 boards?

Chandler has a sore calf that has been bothering him for awhile.. He's day to day

As for Amare only getting 3rebs.. we got killed collectively on the glass.
