What’s Next?

The win over Chicago brings Atlanta’s record to 27-19 this season. They remain 4th in the Eastern Conference, trailing the Boston Celtics by a half game for the 3rd seed. They only trail Toronto by one game for the 2nd seed and Cleveland by four games for the 1st seed. Things are tightening up in the Eastern Conference!

Friday, they’ll take on the team that’s hot on their heels. The Washington Wizards come to Atlanta for an intense Southeast Division battle. At 25-20, they’re not the same team that started the season looking like a mess. With John Wall leading the charge, they’re one of the hottest teams in the NBA.

It should be an interesting test for the Hawks.
