The Atlanta Hawks are currently the hottest team in the NBA. The Hawks have collected a victory in 20 of their last 22 games. Atlanta sits atop the Eastern Conference with a 27-8 record. This is the Hawks best start since the 1993-1994 season. The Hawks have replaced the Cleveland Cavaliers as one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference.
Jeff Teague has been one of the driving forces of Atlanta success. The young guard is averaging 17.7 points, 7 assist and 1.8 steals per contest. Teague has a chance to make his first All-Star game this season. Atlanta ' s overall success could help Teague make the squad as a reserve.
Paul Milsap has been a force to reckon with this season. Millsap ' s versatility has been on display. He's averaged 17 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assist and 1.9 steals per night. Milsap deserves to be on the Eastern Conference All-Star squad. Without him the Hawks would likely be somewhere around the 500 mark.
The Hawks have been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA during the first half of the season.
