CHICAGO (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks are going big again for Game 5 against the Chicago Bulls.
Coach Larry Drew decided to stick with the lineup that helped the Hawks tie the Eastern Conference semifinals at two games apiece heading into Tuesday’s game.
That meant Jason Collins starting at center, Al Horford at power forward and Josh Smith at small forward, with Marvin Williams in a reserve role.
The big lineup helped Atlanta knock off Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic in the opening round, and Drew went back to it for Game 4 in this series on Sunday after getting dominated on the boards the previous two games. The Hawks wound up winning 100-88.
