2015 NBA Playoffs: Bench struggles put Mike Budenholzer in tough spot

As Atlanta's bench continue's to struggle, Mike Budenholzer must lean on his starters more if the Hawks hope to survive their series with the Wizards.

The depth of the Atlanta Hawks roster has been a strength for the team throughout the regular season. However, the unit has not performed at the same level during the post season and that gives Mike Budenholzer a problem heading into Tuesday's Game 2 against the Washington Wizards.

One group that isn't struggling is Atlanta's starting unit, which outscored the Wizards by 10 points in Sunday's Game 1, with the exception of an intentional foul with six seconds remaining.
