Kent Bazemore downplays his move back into the Hawks starting lineup.
However, the team’s record is hard to ignore.
The Hawks are 15-5 with Bazemore in the starting lineup, including their current six-game win streak. The run began one game after he was re-inserted on Dec. 14 in a home loss to the Heat even as Bazemore scored a season-high 28 points. The Hawks are 13-4 when Bazemore starts at small forward with the regular unit.
“Everything is starting to come together,” Bazemore said Saturday before the Hawks’ 117-98 win over the Knicks.
