The Atlanta Hawks are in need of some frontcourt help and because of that need to fill, they gave free agent center Erick Dampier a 10-day contract to see if he can fill the void that is left in the Hawks lineup.
Dampier has averaged 7.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game over his 14-year NBA career. He ranks seventh on the all-time rebounds list among active players.

Atlanta defeated the Magic 89-87 in OT from Orlando in the first meeting of the two since their playoff series last season.

I will double check with coach Larry Drew pre-game, but according to the Hawks coach this morning he is planning no lineup changes for tonight’s game against the Pacers. Drew said Tuesday he was considering ways, including lineup changes, to get his team to play with more energy. He wants the Hawks to get their ‘mojo’ and ’swagger’ back as they have...

Orlando–Before getting to everything the Hawks did wrong while blowing a lead before pulling out the W, let me take a minute to point out something that’s pretty remarkable.
