What a weekend for the Atlanta Hawks. Not only did the Hawks win three straight, they have the longest streak in the East making the postseason tenth straight years.
The Atlanta Hawks have clinched a spot in the 2017 NBA Playoffs, by virtue of Chicago’s 107-106 loss at Brooklyn earlier tonight. The Hawks have now made the Playoffs in 10 straight seasons, the longest active streak in the Eastern Conference, the second-longest in the NBA (San Antonio – 20) and the lengthiest in Atlanta Hawks history.
