Hawks feel Horford's absence against Heat

ATLANTA -- Al Horford led his teammates into the locker room Sunday night, dressed in formalwear, his left arm strapped in a sling, those long strides leading the team farther away from an ugly home loss.

Hawks-Lakers Preview

The Atlanta Hawks have had a habit of barely showing up against some of the NBA's better teams, a trend that was readily apparent their last time out against perhaps the league's most talented squad. As long as they're playing at Staples Center, the Los Angeles Lakers certainly belong in that same upper echelon. The Hawks open a five-game trip Tuesday night against...
