The Atlanta Hawks let an opportunity slip away with a road loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday evening. However, that defeat was offset, at least in part, by a rousing win over the Phoenix Suns just 24 hours earlier, and the Hawks face the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA, at least by winning percentage.
With that as the backdrop, there are numerous scenarios still in play for the Hawks ranging from the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage in the first round to a (very) remote scenario in which Atlanta could slip into the play-in tournament.
