The Atlanta Hawks continued their home stand Monday afternoon, where they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks 110-112.
Around this time last year, there was some controversy surrounding the Hawks. The NBA, due to scheduling conflicts, elected not give Atlanta a home game on MLK Day, ending a long-running annual tradition.
The league corrected itself this season, giving the Hawks the first game of the day at State Farm Arena. It was, without a doubt, the correct decision.
Head Coach Quin Snyder acknowledged how appreciated the decision was during his pregame media availability, saying, "It's always an honor to play on MLK day” in his opening remarks.
