With a little less than a minute left in last night’s Game 5 between Washington and Atlanta, John Wall dribbled into some open space behind a Marcin Gortat screen and calmly sank a 21-foot jumpshot, giving the Wizards a four-point lead with 47 seconds left to play.

The Washington Wizards have, in John Wall, the best player—by a mile!—in their playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks. At pretty much any given moment, they have the better player at three of the five positions on the court. They have home-court advantage. And they’re in grave trouble, at least in large part…

Another Wizards-Hawks game bringeth much fruit in the relatively bland Paul Millsap-Markieff Morris beef.

Give credit to soft, washed, buster-ass piss-baby Paul Millsap, I suppose, for successfully whining this series into unwatchable whistle-ball, for that is all he accomplished. Despite the referees doing everything short of hogtying D.C.’s frontcourt on his behalf, his Hawks, entering the final days of their 71st…

The Cavaliers’ play in the second half has brought plenty of reasonable questions and anxious hand-wringing over the state of the team. Their defense was trash! They briefly lost their spot atop the Eastern Conference! They were literally just screaming at one another! But with a decisive win over the Celtics earlier…

One of the fun little subplots of the season of the season has been animosity between the Celtics and Hawks. The Celtics have taken the Hawks’ spot of two years ago as prime challenger in the East to the Cavaliers, and feisty point guards Isiah Thomas and Dennis Schröder have gotten into it about whether or not Thomas…

On the eve of the 2015 NBA playoffs, Atlanta Hawks guard Thabo Sefolosha had his right femur broken by NYPD officers after they arrested him outside of a New York City nightclub.

Gah, it must be frustrating being Dwight Howard’s teammate. You’d probably want to vent too after watching that dumb, charmless lunk whip a routine pass at the scorer’s table. But if you yap too hard, as Dennis Schroder did last night, you might end up leaving Steph Curry wide open from three.

With just over eight minutes left tonight, the Houston Rockets held a 20-point led over the Atlanta Hawks. James Harden was cooking and scoring from wherever he wanted and his fearsome arsenal of shooters were doing their thing. Teams with the best player on the court playing at home against a team on the second night…

The Cleveland Cavaliers’ trade for Kyle Korver became official over the weekend, with the Cavs sending Mo Williams, Mike Dunleavy, and a future first-round pick to Atlanta in exchange for the sharpshooter. One person who is definitely not happy about this trade is Dunleavy.

Before a game against the Miami Heat on Dec. 7, Atlanta Hawks general manager Wes Wilcox fielded questions from a group of about 200 season ticket holders and club members at a “Chalk Talk” event.

The Cavaliers are doubling down on a team strength and adding one of the best floor spacers in the NBA. Per Adrian Wojnarowski, the Cavaliers are finalizing a trade for Atlanta Hawks three-point specialist Kyle Korver. It’s not clear who exactly the Cavs will give up (Mike Dunleavy? A future first? Some cans of…

The Knicks fell to Atlanta in overtime last night, 102-98, and they did most of it without Carmelo Anthony. Anthony was ejected in the second quarter for a forearm to the face of Thabo Sefolosha while the two were tangled up under the basket.
