On Friday evening in New York the Atlanta Hawks continued to build upon their upward trajectory among movement in NBA Power Rankings and standings among the eastern conference with a win over the Brooklyn Nets.

ATL's mentality in remembrance from previous meetings likely sparked runs that opened up the game at 10 before quickly reaching 18. That extended lead was cut to 4 which woke the sleeping giant and Atlanta never looked back, ultimately climbing the lead up to 34.

The Coach and Player of the Month-led Hawks shot over 50% from both the field and perimeter versus the youngest team in the NBA. DeShaun Tate opens up on which areas of improvement, new additions have made the difference in the turnaround of the franchise entering postseason play.

The Atlanta Hawks "sweep" past Southeast Division rival Orlando Magic in impressive fashion en route to their 3rd consecutive win and improving their record since the all-star break (18-3) including their 21st road win on the season led by explosive 2nd & 3rd quarters.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker flipped the switch in the 1st half after finding his way into early foul trouble by chipping in 20+ points in the 1st half.

ATL has now improved to 11 games over .500 and among one of the hottest teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference.

The Atlanta Hawks got a little payback on Monday at State Farm Arena after Friday's disappointing loss in Boston on Friday, ultimately concluding one of its best months of action in franchise history with a 13-2 record and 17-3 since the all-star break.

Onyeka Okongwu and Dyson Daniels led the way their efficiency while Jonathan Kuminga and Zaccharie Risacher balanced the bench on both the offensive & defensive end.

ATL outscored BOS 36-22 in a critical 3rd quarter while edging the C's in true shooting percentage.

DeShaun Tate breaks down the keys to victory including why the Hawks had to change their mentality from Saturday's game vs Sacramento, Atlanta's performance grades and which stat made all the difference in the outcome of the game.
