The Atlanta Hawks are suddenly one of the hottest teams in the league, as they’ve won 5 of their last 6 – joining elite company with that record of the Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets.
The Hawks have been feisty and focused, as their only loss came against the surging Pacers, and even that game was fairly close down the end.
Seemingly, Lloyd Pierce has done a beautiful job in his first year as an NBA head coach, even with multiple important players (John Collins, Taurean Prince, Dewayne Dedmon) missing games in the early portion of the season.
