Even after a disappointing 127-113 loss where the Atlanta Hawks essentially ignored the Dallas Mavericks on the defensive end of the floor, Atlanta remains in fifth place in the East standings by a half game over both Boston and Chicago. Atlanta has 15 games remaining and are two back of the Brooklyn Nets for fourth place and home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
