Hawks jumped to an early lead in the division standings with a season-best seven-game winning streak, that included a 99-95 overtime win over the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Hawks this season unveiled a new alternate road uniform, which has red as the primary color, with blue and white trim, and ATL (that's short for Atlanta) emblazoned in white across the jersey instead of traditional "Hawks."

Hawks guard Joe Johnson, on the last year of his contract, leads the team averaging 21.4 points per game. He will be making his fourth All-Star appearance.

Hawks forward/center Al Horford will be making his first All-Star appearance. The Hawks third pick in 2007 is averaging 13.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Hawks forward Josh Smith -- who is averaging 16 points, 8 rebounds and more than 2 blocks a game -- didn t make the All-Star team but has been an uplifting force for Atlanta.

For the first time since 1998-99, the Hawks concluded a season sweep of the Boston Celtics.
