As the NBA enters February, the season is now past its halfway point, with most teams having played around 49 games. In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers have solidified their position as a top contender, reaching the 40-win mark faster than any other team in the league.

Cleveland, which had faced a three-game losing streak two weeks ago, bounced back with three straight wins against Eastern Conference teams last week. They took on the Dallas Mavericks, who had just made headlines by trading away superstar Luka Dončić. The Cavaliers put on a shooting clinic, hitting 57.8% from three-point range and having eight players score in double figures. Their dominant 144-101 victory extended their lead over the second-place Boston Celtics to 5.5 games.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks continue to struggle. After a brief moment in the playoff race when they upset the Celtics in mid-January, their fortunes have taken a turn for the worse. Atlanta has now lost eight straight games, and what was once a comfortable 3.5-game lead over the 10th-place Chicago Bulls has shrunk to just 1.5 games. With their playoff hopes in jeopardy, the Hawks will need to turn things around quickly before the gap widens further.
