If nothing else, the Hawks now own the tiebreaker over the Celtics and Hornets, which should net them at least a top 4 seed in the East, at the very least. Furthermore, the Hawks are playing at a very high level right now. And when they’re playing at their peak, there’s not many better teams in the East.
If there’s any team in the East that’s going to make a surprise run towards the Eastern Conference Finals, you better believe that it’s going to be the Hawks.
