The Atlanta Hawks redeemed themselves tonight after a 41 point lost last night to the New Orleans Hornets.  The Hawks went into Charlotte tonight hoping to have a better game than they did last night and came out with a 103-87 victory over the Bobcats.  With Al Horford still out with an ankle sprain, the Hawks were able to pull it together with out their powerful center.  Joe Johnson led both teams in scoring with 32 points and was 12-18 from field goal range, 3-4 from 3 point range and 5-6 in free throws.   Josh Smith added 16 points and Mike Bibby added 14 points to the final score for the Hawks.  The Bobcats have now lost 11 home games this season and the Hawks have now won 6 straight road games.
