What’s Next?

The Hawks have two days off before their next game. That’s probably for the best considering they played nearly a game and a half against the Knicks. Wednesday they’ll start a two-game road trip in Miami against the Heat. They’ll then take on the Rockets in Houston on Thursday, before returning home Saturday against the Orlando Magic.

Next: Which Hawk Would Make The Best President?

The win brings Atlanta’s record to 28-20 on the season. It was an impressive way to bounce back after getting trounced Friday by the Washington Wizards. They remain as the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference, hot on the heels of the Toronto Raptors in 3rd and the Boston Celtics in 2nd.
