The Atlanta Hawks are currently enjoying their longest winning streak in over a decade, marked by nine consecutive victories. This impressive stretch includes a recent win against the Bucks, where Jalen Johnson achieved a triple-double with 23 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds.

The trade of Trae Young on January 9 marked a significant turning point for the franchise. Since his departure, the Hawks have posted a 16-10 record, contrasting with their 19-21 record prior to the trade.
This new era is centered around a core of two-way players and the development of Jalen Johnson. The seamless integration of new players like CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert has further solidified the team's improved performance and positive outlook.
