Hawks are living up to top seed
It hasn’t been an easy path for Atlanta through the post-season, as they have come through two difficult tests to get to this point. The Brooklyn Nets were the first to fall, and they were shortly followed by the Washington Wizards.
The Hawks faced problems in both series, whether it was Deron Williams finding his old self or Paul Pierce hitting a buzzer-beater to break their hearts.
However, they kept coming back and showed true grit and determination, characteristics that are needed of them to go with their elegant and team-first basketball style.
Cleveland will be favourites to advance in their conference finals match-up, but don’t rule out the Hawks just yet as they could be a nightmare match-up with their ball movement and ability to get multiple scorers going as they continue to perform well at home.
