Hawks hit 10 straight
Atlanta has won 10 games in a row, most recently a 124-112 drubbing of Orlando that stretched their surge into the playoff race — Buddy Hield even did on-air commentary mid-game. Jalen Johnson posted a monster 24 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists in recent leaderboards, cementing his breakout status as Atlanta's chief mismatch threat this homestretch. (x.com) (x.com)
Nickeil Alexander-Walker erupted for a career-high 41 points on March 16, 2026, drilling nine triples and pacing Atlanta’s offense in the win over Orlando. (ajc.com) Jalen Johnson finished with 24 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists — his 13th triple-double of the season and his second straight triple-double in back-to-back games. (espn.com) The Hawks buried 16 three-pointers as a team while role players answered—Dyson Daniels posted 15 points and 12 rebounds and Onyeka Okongwu added 15 points. (ajc.com) That outcome moved Atlanta to 38-31 on the year and pushed the club back into eighth place in the Eastern Conference, swapping positions with Philadelphia. (espn.com) The victory also halted Orlando’s seven-game run and left Atlanta holding the longest active streak in the NBA, a run the franchise called its best stretch in more than 11 years and the most sustained since the 2014-15 19-game run. (keysnews.com) The surge began with a Feb. 22 comeback against Brooklyn, when Atlanta closed on an 18-0 run to erase an 11-point deficit and turn that game into the momentum builder for the current stretch.
