Key to this success has been their dominant performance at State Farm Arena, where they've maintained control and showcased offensive prowess. Victories over formidable opponents like the Dallas Mavericks, Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, and Orlando Magic underscore their ability to finish strong and maintain momentum.
Several standout players have been pivotal to this impressive run. Jalen Johnson has been a revelation, posting averages of 20.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 8.1 assists over the last 10 games, including three triple-doubles.
CJ McCollum has added consistent scoring and playmaking with 16.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. Meanwhile, Nickeil Alexander-Walker has been a significant contributor, averaging 22.3 points, 3.7 assists, and 2.9 rebounds.
Defensively, the Hawks have stepped up their game as well. Dyson Daniels has been a defensive powerhouse, racking up 24 steals in 10 games, averaging 2.4 per game. Onyeka Okongwu has bolstered the interior defense with 8.5 rebounds per game.
If the Hawks maintain this momentum, their earlier struggles will be a distant memory as they continue to climb the Eastern Conference standings, turning heads and raising expectations across the league.
