Best original score

And the winner is: Your Atlanta Hawks!

Why: Seriously, you even have to ask? OK, fine. About a bazillion-to35: Going into this NBA season, that would’ve been the score between people who’d basically given up all hope on the Hawks and those who hadn’t (the 17 players on the roster, their moms and head coach Mike Budenholzer). But then came the world’s most improbable scoring run, on the court — a 19-game win streak at one point and best overall record in the NBA at the end of January. And off court, where clever marketing and promotions (Tinder Night, a robed-and-rockin’-it gos- pel choir that introduced the starting lineup on MLK Day) have even nonsports fans and the whole country taking notice.

Get in the picture: Spend the weekend of Feb. 13-15 watching “Coach Bud” and five Hawks players in the NBA All-Star Game and related events on TNT. The Hawks return to Philips Arena against the Toronto Raptors on Feb. 20 with two more home games the following week. On March 6, LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers are here. Can’t get tickets? Watch and listen on Fox Sports South and 92.9 The Game.
