By beating the Celtics on the road without Trae Young in the NBA Cup opener, the Hawks put themselves in a really great position to win the group. Eight teams will advance to the knockout rounds, the six group winners and two Wild Card teams. From there, it’s a single elimination tournament until a champion is crowned.
NBA Cup action continues tonight for the Hawks as they take on the Bulls in Chicago. It’s their third of four NBA Cup group play games, and with a win, they are very likely to advance to the knockout rounds.
