Barely three minutes into the game, Jason Terry was on his back, covering his eye.

He had just collided with teammate Ira Newble, who accidentally poked Terry in the left eye.

Terry got up, and Hawks coach Lon Kruger asked if he was fine. Terry nodded and said, "I'm OK."

But following a 87-72 loss in the Continental Airlines Arena on Tuesday, everyone in a Hawks uniform probably wanted to cover their eyes.
