Hawks fire coach Nate McMillan, begin search for replacement

They saw spending big on guard Dejounte Murray to put in the backcourt with Trae Young as something that would catapult them back up near the top of the East. Instead, the Hawks are 29-30 at the All-Star break and projected for a 41-41 record that would have them ninth in the conference.
