So Schroder is logging DNP's now huh? 
This is what I've been waiting for, come on Phil, give us a miracle trade.
Anyway, what a performance from AA who expanded his attack zones out to the wings (he was really starting to overdo it from the baseline during his poor shooting streak even though he typically cooks there, it got predictable and thus defendable). Great game, not much more I can say, when he's balling the game opens really wide.
Melo saw hot hands elsewhere and didn't force anything, just picked them apart with clever passing. His work on boards and defense was good and it was nice to see him not forced to take a ton of shots against a team that really came after him with physical play. He was able to just let his boys cook.
Grant started pulling jumpers and it opened up his game even when they didn't fall, the couple that dropped are promising. When he's playing confident ball, his ability to slash and kick is huge.
RoLo seems like he loves the Hawks match-up, nobody big enough to hold him (last time he was balling too until the headbutt). He gets deep position all night on these guys and it meant more buckets and timely offensive boards.
KP with the second unit and being used as a pick man is the no-brainer of the year but shout out to Fish for finally giving in. He played a lot more inside ball and received the rock going toward the basket which opened things up.
D-Will is still cooking. He seemed to be more after it on boards and defense too which is as much as you can ask from him.
Lance...other guys were really going off so he took a backseat which I won't hold against him.
Jose, quietly effective, had a few times where I thought he should attack but he also had moments where he pulled up and made a basket when we needed a jumper. Felt like he had less opportunities to create with Melo, Rolo and AA all creating so much which isn't a bad thing since he can pick spots. Had some nice moments on Teague too, who is a handful to say the least.
Galloway, another one who sorta felt like he took a backseat but he's over the completely missing jumper games and starting to make baskets when he gets it in space.
Fish tightened the rotation and played the right guys. I like to see KOQ get minutes, but getting KP more minutes at C worth the rotation shortening up. Increased pick and rolls which seems like common sense with KP and worked really well to get KP, Rolo and Grant going. He tried some interesting combinations thanks to the hot hands and I don't have any major complaints.

Melo running from the Hawks defenders
Not fast enough. He got on my nerves being so passive, allowing his defenders to deny him the ball. I hate when he allows that.
