With just 13 games remaining in the season, the Atlanta Hawks kicked off a six-game road trip in Milwaukee on Saturday night. While many Hawks’ fans might have an eye on the bottom of the NBA standings and the Hawks’ odds for gaining the top pick in the 2018 summer draft, the team looks to have a constructive final stretch of the season building some positive momentum to carry into a very important off-season.
The Hawks delivered a valiant effort but came up short at the end, losing 122-117. Taurean Prince tied a career high with 38 points while Dennis Schroder added 18 points and nine assists and John Collins delivered a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds.
