The Atlanta Hawks have had a resurgence under new interim coach Nate McMillan. A big part of this is that players are now going on the court knowing their role and then executing that role. This has led to McMillan earning the Eastern Conference coach of the month honor for March.
John Collins was responding extremely well to McMillan, setting a career-high with 38 points against the Golden State Warriors and the “best defender to ever play in the NBA” in the form of Draymond Green.
