The Atlanta Hawks just keep winning and winning. Their latest culprit was against the Boston Celtics in Boston. DeMarre "The Junkyard Dog" Carroll led the way with 22 points on 8/13 shooting. The Hawks put together another great team performance and sailed to a smooth 105-91 victory at the TD Garden.
Hawks point guard, Jeff Teague, put the win in perspective for the team, "It's just the start. It's a long season, so we're not too excited."
Even if the Hawks players are nonchalant the fans should be ecstatic. The Atlanta Hawks are solely in first place of the Eastern Conference for the first time in 17 years. They are currently on a 10 game winning streak, also the longest streak since the 97-98 season; and have won an outstanding 10 straight road games. Everything right now is going the Hawks way as they continue to win-win-win
no matter what!
Paul Millsap, Jeff Teagues and DeMarre Carol all got the nigh off in Philly when the Hawks cruised to another easy victory over the 76ers.
"I don't like it, but it's Coach's call and it paid off for us," said Millsap, who had 18 points and 10 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the season.
The Hawks next road game is against the third-place Toronto Raptors. The Raptors have won the last two meetings beating Atlanta in Atlanta and once in Toronto. They look to extend their road-game-winning streak to 11 against a very formidable opponent. The Raptors are led by all-purpose guard Kyle Lowry and the return of superstar, Demar Derozan, should make it an interesting challenge for the A.
