The Atlanta Hawks have played at the 3rd-speediest pace-of-play in the NBA this year.The Hawks check in as the 2nd-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore provide additional opportunities for scoring and assists).This year when they have the home court advantage, their opposition has come down with 10.0 offensive rebounds per game (8th-lowest in the league) against the Celtics (turning over possessions that could otherwise bring about additional opportunities for offense).Onyeka Okongwu has made an impressive 92.1% of his foul shots this year, significantly more than his 75.6 mark last year.This year when they are at home, the other team has attempted 19.0 free throws per game (2nd-lowest in the league) against the Celtics, making it tough to get to the foul line.
