Despite sleepwalking through the first half, the Atlanta Hawks gain steam down the stretch and sweep the Philadelphia 76ers on the season series on Saturday at State Farm Arena.

The win not only gives ATL the NBA's current longest win streak at 6 but also marks as only the 6th franchise in league history to record its 3,000th win and during the stretch leads the NBA in scoring, steals, points off turnovers, fast break points and point differential.

After feeling the Bucks' hardest punch, Atlanta found itself trailing, down 16 points early and an explosive 38-point 1st Quarter for Milwaukee. Jalen Johnson returns home yet rode the defensive wave of Dyson Daniels & company including key adjustments made by Head Coach Quin Snyder to extend ATL's winning streak to 5.

In addition, MIL suffers its 4th consecutive amid its alleged frustration around trading star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and building disappointment among its fan base. The tale between 2 halves appeared as Atlanta turned up its defense and took advantage of the Bucks' miscues.

DeShaun Tate and Tenitra Batiste address what makes the win streak so 'different' than those off the past, Zaccharie Risacher's confidence, Dyson Daniels' balanced impact and of course, (everyone's favorite topic) Magic City.

The Atlanta Hawks are off to a great start to the month of March including a win, their 4th consecutive with a 135-101 home win over the Portland Trailblazers.

ATL outdueled POR from every facet of scoring & rebounding but it was the balance of their defense that catapulted them into the victory column yet again for the 31st time this season.

Corey Kispert tallied his career-high versus his former team albeit without Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, ATL also found a much-needed offensive spark from starting guard Dyson Daniels (double-double, 5+ steals).

Despite a dominating performance, concerns still loom though the energy and vibe surrounding the Atlanta Hawks is giving optimism in part with Jonathan Kuminga's arrival and CJ McCollum's offensive firepower.

The long-anticipated debut of Jonathan Kuminga as an active participant was on full display on Tuesday evening at State Farm Arena, making the most of his minutes and opportunity after ATL jumped out to a 7-0 run after capitalizing off of 5 consecutive turnovers to open the contest.

Despite Jalen Johnson's early exit after only seeing 6 minutes of action and an underwhelming performance from Onyeka Okongwu and Jock Landale, Atlanta yet still managed to outrebound Washington by 20 (19-2 offensive) and outscore the Wiz 58-44 in the paint. The Hawks' bench mob also chipped in 74 points behind Kuminga's 27 and Corey Kispert & Gabe Vincent's 23 combined.

Miami's frontcourt proved to be too much for Atlanta on Friday evening at State Farm Arena on back end of a back-to-back in Tyler Herro's return despite MIA's 70+ paint points.

The Heat got out to an 11-3 run before the first break of the 1st Quarter and controlled the remainder of it for the rest of the way before the Hawks stormed back in Quarter 2 with the ability to convert on shots it usually connects on. It wasn't until the 3rd Quarter that ATL reverted back to doing its best impression of the 1st Quarter by misconnecting on free-throws, lackluster energy on defense and being outhustled by the opposition as 2 of the top teams in the NBA in the open floor. Albeit in triple-double fashion, Jalen Johnson struggled shooting consistently but who's responsible for stepping up when JJ underperforms? Why does ATL struggle so much at State Farm Arena?

In game 1 (57th overall) since returning from the all-star break, Atlanta looks to win the season series and its 8th consecutive over Philadelphia. ATL utilized its balanced attack to win the season series and extend its winning streak over PHL to 8 consecutive games.

In Joel Embiid and Paul George's absence, the Sixers relied heavily on its guards offensively but not enough muscle up front to stave off the Hawks' frontcourt of Jalen Johnson and CJ McCollum's hot shooting performance.

Southeast division rival Charlotte Hornets win the season series and Battle of the South versus the Atlanta Hawks despite Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate (suspension) at the Spectrum Center in the Queen City resulting in an ending of controversial calls late 4th quarter.

After trailing by 19 ATL put together its best run of the game in the 4th quarter to cut CLT's lead to 1 single possession but pivotal free-throws down the stretch, poor defense between 1st & 4th quarter and an inability to capitalize on the Hornets' mistakes with perimeter shooting prevents Atlanta from entering the all-star break in winning fashion.
