OTOH, Kidd, Terry, and Barea all stepped up their games to hit big shots after faltering or doing nothing for a good stretch of minutes. You simply have to hit when it's your shot. No doubt the rest of the Hawks choked in final few minutes (except Bibby maybe), but that doesn't mean Johnson wasn't also choking his way out of a win.
-edit: and wasn't that him with the obvious forearm to Barea over and over? They would have eventually called that.
