ABOUT THE HAWKS: They're looking to regain the chemistry that they enjoyed during a 7-1 exhibition season and the Hawks are showing some signs of getting their act together after suffering through a recent stretch in which they lost five of six games.
PLAYER TO WATCH
JOSH SMITH, Hawks: He went into Tuesday as the league's leading shot blocker, averaging 3.45 per game. Smith was also tied for sixth in steals, averaging 2.09 per game, and was the only player in the league to be ranked in the top 10 in both categories. After Tuesday's game against Chicago, he has a block in 65 straight games, the longest such streak in the league. He had a big game in a loss to the Bucks on Nov. 17 at the Bradley Center, finishing with 38 points and seven rebounds.
