Hawks Rack Up March Honors
The Atlanta Hawks absolutely cannot be stopped.
They finished the month of March with a record of 13-2, and going back to the All-Star break, the Hawks have rocketed up the standings with a mark of 18-3 since February 11th.
When the team has this level of success, individual accolades tend to follow.
On Thursday, the announcements came down, and two Hawks were honored with monthly awards. First, Jalen Johnson was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month:

He averaged a bonkers 22 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists per game while playing in 13 of the 15 games last month. It’s his first career Player of the Month award, something he can pair with a Player of the Week award he won earlier this season.
The orchestrater of the players also earned recognition from his peers. Head coach Quin Snyder was tapped as the Eastern Conference Coach of the Month:

The award is Snyder’s fifth of his career — the other four happening in the Western Conference during his eight-year stint with the Utah Jazz. The award comes after Snyder picked up his 500th career win around a week ago.
