"Hawks players were given the day off Wednesday, a reward for a just completed 4-1 road trip.

Take a deep breath. It's a brief respite as the team opens a four-game homestand Thursday against the Grizzlies. The Hawks will also host the 76ers, Suns and Pacers over the next seven days at Philips Arena where they are 8-1 this season. The homestand also presents a chance for the Hawks (16-6) to avenge two of their losses, defeats at the 76ers and Pacers earlier this season."
