Watching the first 2 quarters again today i think two things stood out re Tazz on Hawkins.
1) Tazz played infront of Hawkins for the most part. His positioning was very good.
2) Due to the above, and the fact that he is so big, Tazz's positioning forced Hawkins to infringe. In the past, if Thompson tried that Hawkins could move him without infringing.
Anyway, another very good game from Tazz. Actually, even better than last week considering the opponent he was on.
