（僅節錄亞特蘭大部份） Atlanta vs. Utah When the home team finally took the floor they did not disappoint with a resounding victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Deron Williams was the biggest name and by far the best player to participate in this game. He was just a notch above every other player on the floor and gave the impression that he could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. He finished with 16 points and 7 assists. As with Podkolzin the game before Rafael Araujo looked much more serviceable than expected. While not dominant he did not appear to be the colossal bust that Toronto shipped away. Hoffa has lost 30 pounds to noticeably reshape his body and was effective but extremely dirty. He was ejected midway through the third period after receiving his second flagrant foul on a cheap takedown of Marvin Williams. I had a great angle on this play and as both players were falling towards the floor Araujo used his arms to give Williams an extra hard shove directly into the base of the basket. It was uncalled for and warranted the ejection and maybe a suspension. Williams jumped from the floor to go after Araujo and had to be restrained by his teammates and Araujo later left the floor kicking aside chairs in the hallway to the locker room. The altercation between these two players set up a very entertaining 4th quarter in which the fans booed Williams relentlessly and seemed to affect his concentration greatly. While Williams finished with 22 points it was done in fairly unimpressive fashion. Several NBA players I was sitting with commented that he seemed to wilt under the pressure, first missing the technical free throw and then fading in the stretch. One commented in unfair fashion that great players like Michael Jordan would have dropped 40 in the quarter just to show people that they could not get to him. Number 5 overall pick Shelden Williams was unimpressive in 33 minutes. Matched up almost entirely against training camp players with no NBA experience he earned most of his points from the free throw line and just did not seem to be particularly active on either the boards or offense. Utah had solid production from a pair of rookies. Both Ronnie Brewer and Dee Brown were impressive with Brewer displaying an all-around game that should earn him a long career. Brown showed an impeccable release and great rotation on his jump shots and put up 12 points in 16 minutes.
