ATLANTA -- The struggling Atlanta Hawks acquired guard Kirk Hinrich from Washington in a five-player trade Wednesday, upgrading their backcourt for the playoff run.

After the trade was announced, the short-handed Hawks lost 105-97 at Phoenix for their fifth defeat in six games. They are fifth in the top-heavy Eastern Conference and trying to hold off the New York Knicks, who closed within four games of Atlanta with a win over Milwaukee in their first game since acquiring Carmelo Anthony.
"Those guys are like brothers to me," Hawks forward Josh Smith said of his now-former teammates. "At the same time, we know this is a business. These things happen. The guys at the top felt like a change needed to be made."
