Hawks Team Report
(Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:00:40 PST)

The Hawks' four-game road trip ended with a resounding thud Friday night with a 20-point loss to Charlotte, but they still managed to win two games during their daunting cross-country journey.

The trip started with a respectable eight-point loss to the defending champion Lakers and included wins over Portland and Sacramento before Friday's collapse by a road-weary team.

"It was tough," Atlanta center Al Horford said. "It was one of those games where nobody could get it going, but we have to get it done on the defensive end. That was unacceptable tonight. We were just flat out there. (Saturday) we have to come out there and get that win."

There's no rest for the Hawks.
