The Atlanta Hawks rollercoaster of a season continued with more twists and turns over this past week.
After a statement home victory over the New York Knicks last Thursday (that went a long ways in washing off the stains from their back-to-back defeats to the basement dwelling Washington Wizards the week prior), the Hawks fell short in two disappointing defeats to the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls over the weekend — two teams with more losses than wins so far this season that, frankly, Atlanta would like to be peering down upon in the Eastern Conference standings by the the time the regular season is finished.
