Looking for the key guy for the Hawks tonight against the Magic? Joe Johnson? Al Horford?
Perhaps it is Jamal Crawford.
Jamal has been a scoring machine off the bench for the Hawks in the first two games against the Magic. He went for 23 points in Game One, and followed that with a 25-point effort in Game Two.
Based on per game average, Jamal is the leading bench scorer (24.0) in the NBA Playoffs through last night’s games.
Jamal waited a LONG time to taste the post-season.
Last year as a Hawks marked his first visit to the post-season after nine years in the league.
To say he has made the most of it would be an understatement. Crawford has now played in 13 playoff games in his career, and he has gone for 20+ points in seven of them! All off the bench!
Crawford has averaged 32 minutes per game in his two-year playoff run. Expect big things tonight as the series shifts back to Philips Arena.
See you on TV!

A reminder, tonight’s Game Three will air on FOX Sports South. Hawks Live! Begins our coverage at 7:30et.
