Jamal Crawford is happy with his new team and his new role.

"This is the most fun I've had because I haven't had these kinds of athletes, ever. So it feels good," he said after scoring 27 points off the bench to lead the Atlanta Hawks to a 97-91 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.
