The Hawks have been red-hot in the first half of the NBA season, and they'll have something to show for it during All-Star Weekend rolls around.
With a 110-91 victory over the Pacers on Wednesday, they clinched the best record in the Eastern Conference through Feb. 1. That means head coach Mike Budenholzer and his staff will coach the Eastern Conference All-Stars in the NBA All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden in New York.

In just his second season in Atlanta, Budenholzer will become the first Hawks coach to earn All-Star Game coaching honors since Lenny Wilkens in 1994.
Budenholzer's Hawks are now on a 14-game winning streak after beating the Pacers. The streak matches the longest in franchise history.
