The Atlanta Hawks picked up a much-needed victory on Monday evening, dominating the proceedings against the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers. With that win under their belt, the Hawks begin a three-game road trip on Wednesday evening with a challenging match-up against the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns, led by Chris Paul and Devin Booker, are off to a strong start, posting top-ten marks in the NBA in both offensive rating and net rating. Phoenix is also a top-five team in assist rate and turnover rate offensively and, even with a middling defense, the Suns deploy a strong overall attack.
