Hawks lead series 3-2

With NBA commissioner David Stern and the Mayor of Atlanta in attendance the Hawks defended their home court and blew out the Miami Heat 106-91. In what can charitably be described as a "chippy" game, there were hard fouls, technical fouls and flagrant fouls called as both sides got increasingly aggressive with their play. With 3:24 left in the game Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra emptied the bench, resigning himself and his Heat to their fate. This guy banged his head on the hardwood and went to the locker room during the first quarter. He returned and ended up scoring 29 points to no avail. Next stop Miami, do or die.
