Atlanta\u2019s latest win continues the team\u2019s surge through the Eastern Conference and marks the franchise\u2019s longest winning streak since the 2014\u201315 campaign, when the Hawks finished 60\u201322 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals<\/a>. The current run has helped Atlanta regain momentum in the playoff race while strengthening its position in the middle of the conference standings.<\/p>\n

CJ McCollum<\/a> led the way offensively against Milwaukee, scoring 30 points while adding three rebounds, two assists and a steal. The veteran guard delivered an efficient performance, shooting 10-for-18 from the field and 7-for-10 from three-point range while converting 3-of-4 free throws in 27 minutes.<\/p>\n

Jalen Johnson<\/a> followed with one of the most complete performances of the night, recording a triple-double with 23 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Johnson shot 10-for-20 from the field, including 2-for-5 from beyond the arc, and added one free throw across 35 minutes as he helped control the pace of the game on both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n

Nine straight wins lift Hawks closer to Eastern Conference top six<\/p>\n

The balanced effort highlighted Atlanta\u2019s recent stretch of strong play, which has seen the team climb back into postseason contention. With the victory, the Hawks improved to 36\u201331 on the season and moved closer to the Miami Heat (38\u201329), remaining 2.5 games behind the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n

Atlanta\u2019s nine-game winning streak currently stands as the longest active run in the NBA, underscoring the team\u2019s momentum as the regular season enters its final stretch. The Hawks have benefited from improved offensive execution and consistent contributions across the roster during the streak.<\/p>\n

The team will now look to extend its run Monday night when it hosts the Orlando Magic<\/a> (37\u201328). The matchup, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET on Peacock and NBCSN, will serve as the final game of Atlanta\u2019s five-game homestand and carries significant playoff implications as the Eastern Conference race tightens.<\/p>\n
