* Dwight Howard briefly came out of the game to get a contact lens replaced.

* The Hawks are outscoring opponents 113.5-101.5 during their four-game win streak.

Quotable

“It was easy for me because I had good positioning on the floor. The type of defense they play, that play is easy. I got low in the corner and they wanted to push me in the corner so they could help. If the big man helped, (Dwight) was wide open. I tried to draw the defender and threw it up.” – Malcolm Delaney on a play where he simply nodded at Dwight Howard to set up alley-oop dunk
