The Atlanta Hawks have had a great January 2017, going 10-4 with one game remaining. Who has been some of the most outstanding trios?

Barring a few blowouts by the Washington Wizards and the Detroit Pistons, the Atlanta Hawks have dominated the league to start 2017. They currently sit as the #1 team in the Southeast division and are fourth in the Eastern Conference. Raw numbers state that the Hawks are a great defensive team whose offense has yet to come to them, but how would advanced stats explain the team?

NBA.com/stats has created a tracking system where five-man lineups can be broken down by traditional and advanced numbers. This is impressive in itself, but the before-seen system has also been recreated to analyze two, three, and four-man lineups. The Hawks have had a great month to start off 2017. What three-man lineups have been the most effective for the Hawks in January?
