Hawks win 10th straight for 1st time since 1998

Boston, MA  - Despite missing Al Horford and Kyle Korver, the Atlanta Hawks had no problem dispatching the Boston Celtics, 105-91, on Wednesday.

It was Atlanta's 10th straight win, and their 10th straight win on the road, the longest streak in team history. 

Playing back-to-back games against Philadelphia and Boston, the Hawks decided to give their five starters some rest with Jeff Teague, Paul Millsap and DeMarre Carroll sitting out Tuesday's win over the 76ers.

All three came back with impressive efforts. Carroll and Teague led all scorers with 22 points apiece, and Millsap added 18 points with 10 rebounds in the win.

The Hawks lead the East with a 31-8 record. 

"It's just the start," said Teague. "It's a long season, so we're not too excited."

Avery Bradley led the Celtics with 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting. Boston also got 14 points and nine boards from Jared Sullinger as the Celtics fell for the third time in four games.
