The Atlanta Hawks had one of the worst games I've ever seen from an NBA team last night. They finished the game with 58 points, and had a quarter in which they only scored 5 points. That has to be an NBA record for worst quarter ever. They ended up losing the game to the Chicago Bulls 97-58. The Bulls Taj Gibson added some salt to the wound when he posterized Atlanta’s Anthony Tolliver. The announcer went wild and went on a facebook rant. He said Gibson just friend requested him and created a website called www.myface.com. Nothing like rubbing their faces in it huh?? Video below.

The Hawks have been in Atlanta since 1968, but have existed as a franchise since 1949. In those 64 seasons, the Hawks have scored 65 or fewer points 66 times. They have failed to score 60 points just 21 times. On Monday night, the Hawks made it an even 22 in an embarrassing 97-58 loss to the Bulls.
