The Head Coach

A. He didn’t play the rookies, but I’m going to let that go. It’s tough to pull Mike Dunleavy Jr. from the game when he’s unconscious from three-point range. Budenholzer’s decision to play Malcolm Delaney over Dennis Schroder late in the game also proved to be a good call. Budenholzer hasn’t been rigid with his rotations this season and it seems to have paid off. It will be interesting moving forward to see how he balances Delaney’s and Dunleavy’s minutes.. Head Coach. Atlanta Hawks. MIKE BUDENHOLZER

Next: Hawks All-1990's Roster

It will be a quick turnaround for the Hawks. They head to Madison Square Garden tomorrow at 1:00 PM to take on the New York Knicks. They have already played the Knicks twice this season, with each team winning one game. They’ll also play again on Jan. 29. These teams might be sick of each other by the end of the month. That should make for an intense match-up.
