What makes this so interesting? Well, back in the regular season, when both teams were winning 60 games, the questions still lingered. Are the Warriors and the Hawks for real? Were they REALLLYYY contenders, or just juggernauts when it didn't truly count?
Now we have our answer. Both faced major adversity, and passed with significant victories. And more impressive, neither team was truly in danger of a loss on Monday night. The Hawks defeated the Wizards 106-101, but their dominance was greater than that. Atlanta's ball movement was back. The Hawks shot the ball extremely well. They led for the entire game, and led by double-digits for a good portion of the night.
