ATLANTA – In sports, it seems as if you only get respect when you beat the good teams. For the past few weeks, the Atlanta Hawks have been streaking, but some people didn’t want to validate it after seeing the teams they’ve beaten.
The Atlanta Hawks aren’t just hot anymore. They’re on a run that’s starting to shake the entire NBA. And after their latest performance, it’s official: 10 straight wins.
The NBA thought this story was finished before it even started. Instead, it turned into one of the most talked-about moments of the season. The Atlanta Hawks were set to host a themed “Magic City Night,” a promotion built around one of the most recognizable parts of Atlanta’s culture.
Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker sent a strong message to the doubters who think that their 10-game winning streak is a fluke, following their 124-112 home win against the Orlando Magic on Monday night.
The Atlanta Hawks knew they were getting a solid shooter and defender when they inked Nickeil Alexander-Walker to a $15.2M contract this summer. They didn't expect they'd be getting a 20 PPG scorer who put up a season-high 41 points against the Orlando Magic in a 124-112 win.

Basketball has changed so, so much since it was first played in the late 1800s. The NBA has a lot to do with this, and there are even a handful of players who can be credited with influencing significant shifts on their own.
An elephant never forgets … and neither does Onyeka Okongwu. Okongwu and the Atlanta Hawks battled on Monday night against Desmond Bane and the Orlando Magic.
