Don't look now, but the Atlanta Hawks are primed to make
a playoff push off the strength of their current ten-game
stretch, and of course, the superb performances of point
guard Trae Young.NBALeaguePa s: Sign up to unlock live

snapped the scorching Suns' 11-game winning streak,
winning in Atlanta, 124-115. Young led the Hawks with 43

ten-game stretch, they've managed to take down the
defending champion Milwaukee Bucksand theMiami Heat, two
teams considered as Eastern Conference favorites.It was
only a couple of weeks ago that the Hawks season was
already being written off, but led by their All-Star
point guard Young, who was last week named NBA Eastern
Conference Payer of the Week for the second time this
season, Atlanta is now looking like a viable threat
heading into the second half of the season.Been a problem

Player of the Week honors for helping lead the Hawks to a
4-0 record in that time span while averaging31.3 points,
ninea sists, and fourrebounds on shooting splits of46.4
percent from the floor and 47.6 percent from beyond the
arc. Hebegan the winningstreak with twodouble-doubles,
giving him 21 for the season, which ranks fourth among
all guards and second in the East behind James
Harden.After his explosion against the Suns, Young was
asked whether he considers himself the best offensive
player in the league."I don't nece sarily think about it
often I focus on my team and try to win but if you look
at it, I definitely feel like it's hard to guard a player
like me who can get teammates involved and score on my
own," Atlanta has been average at home this season,
entering this game with a 14-12 record, while the Suns
came in with the best road record in the league at 19-4,
to go along with their The team with the second-best
rating, however? The Atlanta Hawks, a team that can

jersey/harmon-killebrew-jersey put numbers on the board,
even with a not 100 percent healthy Young.When you look
at Atlanta's season there are some eerie similarities to
last season's run to the Eastern Conference Finals.Last
season, under then-head coach Lloyd Pierce, the Hawks
were once again languishing with asub-.500 recordnearing
the midpoint of theseason. Sitting in the 11th seed with
a 14-20 record, it was looking like the Hawks would mi s
the playoffs for a fourthconsecutive season, sothe
franchise decided to move on from Pierce and installed
Nate McMillan as interim head coach on March1.The team
immediately went on an eight-game winning streak once
McMillan was appointed - their longest of the season.The
Hawks posted a 27-11 regular-season record under McMillan
and earned the No. 5 seed in the NBA Playoffs.
Atlantabeat the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers

the playoffs beforefalling to the Milwaukee Bucksin six
games in the Eastern Conference finals.It marked only the
second time in their Atlanta history the Hawks played in
the conference finals.The Hawks' succe s during this
current run isn't all due to Young, however.The reserves
have played a ma sive part, especially guys like Onyeka
Okongwu, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari. Against
the Suns, Bogdanovic and Gallinari combined for 23 points
off the bench.ICE. CLUTCH. Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) The
Hawks, at least in recent seasons, have had a top-ranked
offense. Last season, they were ninth in the league in
offensive rating. This season, .On the defensive end is
where they've struggled in 2021-22.For the season,
they're ranked 27th in the league indefensive rating,
however, over the course of this ten-game stretch, .I
felt like the only thing that was keeping us from where
we want to be was really the defensive end, . Were able
to score 130, 140, but other teams against us are doing
the same thing, which doesnt always give us a great
chance https://www.twinsjerseysonestop.com/minnesota-
twins-jersey/justin-morneau-jersey to win.""I feel like
we kind of just throw the dice or throw the penny and by
doing this now, by improving defensively, were giving
ourselves a better chance to win. When you keep a team
under 100 points, especially for a team as good
offensively as us, its huge. Thats what its going to come
down to."The Hawks are surging, and not a moment too soon
either, according to head coach Nate McMillan.We still
have injuries and trying to get guys back, but were
playing basketball that gives us a chance to win games
now."The Hawks will travel to face the Toronto Raptors,
who are on a four-game winning streak of their own, on
Friday.
