Hawks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

It's been a while since Marvin Williams had a side of the floor cleared out for him to go to work.

He hasn't been called upon to play that role for the Hawks very often this season, not with the regime change and Hawks coach Larry Drew using him off the bench almost as much as he does in the starting lineup.
