NEW YORK, United States – Mike Budenholzer, who led the Atlanta Hawks to a franchise-record 60 wins this season, has been named the NBA’s coach of the year, the league announced Tuesday.

Budenholzer received 67 first-place votes and a total of 513 points from a nationwide panel of sportswriters to beat out Golden State’s Steve Kerr for the award.

Atlanta won the Southeast Division and earned the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Hawks had a 19-game winning streak during the season, including a perfect 17-0 record in the month of January, which helped a team-record four Hawks make the all-star game.
