‘It’s good for us to be battle-tested headed for the postseason,’ guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker says.

Braves slugger Drake Baldwin does ‘small ball,’ too; Atlanta United has emotional issues.

It’s safe to say the Hawks will finish among the East’s top six teams to qualify for the playoffs. The chances of them winning a series will depend largely on the opponent.

Braves pitching is the reason for the team's good start, but catcher Drake Baldwin has been carrying the team offensively so far.

Known as “Captain America,” the forward is the closest thing the U.S. has to a world-class player. That’s why it’s a problem he hasn’t put the ball in the net for so long.

The Hawks stand sixth in the Eastern Conference. That’s the last guaranteed playoff spot.

The Falcons lost more than they gained during free agency, while some of their NFC South rivals improved.

It’s easy to dismiss the surge as nothing more than the Hawks taking advantage of a soft spot in the schedule. But I'm not doing that.

Tua Tagovailoa should be judged against veteran backup quarterbacks available to the Falcons at a price that wouldn’t put a big dent in their salary cap. He’s a solid choice.
