VIDEO: Hawks use beautiful ball movement to set up Al Horford

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Living up to the lofty moniker of "Spurs East" isn't easy, but the Atlanta Hawks are pretty close when their offense gets going.

Take the play below from Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.

The play opens with Jeff Teague penetrating deep into the paint. Teague is met at the rim by Timofey Mozgov, so Teague kicks it out to the perimeter. The ball is then swung to DeMarre Carroll before he drives and dishes to a cutting Al Horford for a push shot.

Ball. Movement.
