According to Basketball-Reference.com, the Atlanta Hawks rank fifth in the NBA in defensive rating, allowing 105.6 points per 100 possessions.

Dwight Howard's postgame interview would have gone smoother if he had said that.

Following Wednesday night's 119-114 win over the Chicago Bulls, the Hawks center tried to convey the team's defensive tenacity to Fox Sports South sideline reporter Olivia Harlan. His phrasing cracked up teammate Dennis Schroder, who proceeded to act like a teenager in health class.

Schroder's reaction caused Howard to giggle. Harlan, an adult, continued the interview like a professional.
