On a quick turnaround after they beat the Lakers at home, the Spurs head east to take on Mike Budenholzer's Atlanta Hawks.
The rest of the Eastern Conference has caught up to the Atlanta Hawks this season, in one way or another.
At this time last season, Atlanta was 17-7. From that point on, the Hawks ran unimpeded throughout the 5season, securing the top seed in the conference. They were everything the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers were not - starless, under the radar and whipsmart passers.
Atlanta - known as "Spurs East" around some circles because of the similar style of play - are currently in the eighth seed through a fourth of the season.
