Looks like Teague is back in shape for the playoffs.

Do the Hawks hold the tie breaker on the Celtics?

Do the Hawks just have to win 1 of the next 2 games to clinch the 3rd spot?

Or do the Hawks have to win the last two games to seal the 3rd spot?

Yep, I believe we just need to win one more and we're good.

This team is playing incredibly well right now. I honestly think we might be better than last year's team.

This should secure us the third seed...here's hoping it gets us a repeat us to the ECF.

Hawks hold the tiebreak over Boston (3-1 season series against them). We clinch 3rd if we win one more game, and Miami loses at least one more. The only way we don't clinch by winning one more is if Miami goes 3-0 to close out (ORL, @DET, @BOS) since we also hold the tiebreaker over Charlotte.

We're certainly playing our best basketball at the right time. This is what every team in sports strives to do: peak at the right time.

What a run by the team after Boston went 87-75. To be able to grab a 93-91 lead at the end of the quarter and hold Boston below 40 in the 2nd half after giving up 71 is impressive. Proud of the Hawks for that 2nd half performance.

Great run for sure.
Very exciting game.
I watched it after the half with dinner with a friend and his son at a restaurant. Great times.
Nobody surrounding us seemed to even care tho.

Paul Millsap was unbelievable tonight. He padded the stats tonight and even manged to block 5 shots.

19257 showed up to watch this one.

Millsap scored 31, and not a single free throw attempted tonight. I don't think anyone gets hit more without a foul being called than Paul.

We can beat anyone in the East when Teague and shredder are both playing well. I don't care what any one says

Extremely proud of the way our guys came out and played in the 2nd half tonight. Millsap with a monsterous 31 points. This team is playing terrific basketball at the right time. Don't see any way we don't end up with the 3rd seed now.

It's possibly for sure.
The refs and the league concern me.
However, Cleveland appears to be having chemistry issues, so that will go into our favor. I believe Toronto has proven to be a legit threat in the East too.

Paul with 31 points WITH ZERO freethrow attempts. These refs, smdh. Paul gets mauled every game and the refs swallow their whistles.
