This seven-game winning streak is the longest for the Hawks since the 2021-2022 season. Six of these victories came at home, allowing Atlanta to reach .500 at home (16-16) for the first time since late November.

The Hawks, currently ninth in the Eastern Conference, trail Orlando by 2.5 games for sixth place and the final direct playoff spot. Atlanta hopes to avoid a fifth consecutive play-in tournament appearance with a strong finish to the season.

The Dallas Mavericks, in full rebuild mode around young Cooper Flagg (19 years old), suffered their eighth straight loss and their 18th defeat in 20 games. The Atlanta crowd didn’t miss the opportunity to taunt them with chants of « Who are you? Who are you? ».
