The Head Coach

MIKE BUDENHOLZER. A. The win streak rolls on. The Hawks have now won six games in a row. Somehow, Budeholzer is keeping this team together despite all the trade rumors. Budeholzer hasn’t been afraid to tinker with their rotation during this winning streak. Tim Hardaway Jr. was hot from the field, so he got minutes over Thabo Sefolosha. <a rel=. Head Coach. Atlanta Hawks

The win brings the Hawks to 21-16 on the season. They’re 4th in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 games ahead of the Indiana Pacers. They’re just two games back of the Boston Celtics for the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference. Boston travels to Phillips Arena Friday, January 13th in Al Horford‘s first game back in Atlanta.
