Hawks #1 in the league in defense?

Just heard this during a turner broadcast of the Hawks vs Timberwolves... they are looking damn good and I live near downtown atlanta.. is this true and if so wtfs?

They allow the least ppg in the league. How do people not know this?

[Big Cheese]

lead in PPG but that is a poor measurement of how good a defense is. they are top 5 in defensive efficiency though

Golden State holds teams to a lower FG%.

Damn, gangster. I literally live 5 min from philips arena and have no idea cause the falcons and braves have way more precedent over the Hawks in atlanta. Hell the bulldogs are more beloved than the hawks.
