For the most part, the Atlanta Hawks have had a season to forget. They remain near the bottom of the standings despite playing well of late. A stretch from November through December that saw them lose 21 of 23 games has been way too much to overcome.
Since the calendar has flipped to 2020, the Hawks are a near .500 team, going 12-16. When playing in Atlanta, they’ve been way better, and among the best the best home teams this year.
They’ve won five of their last six at State Farm Arena, going 10-6 there overall. The only other teams to have more wins than the Hawks are the 76ers, Bucks and Clippers, who are all set for top seeds in the playoffs.
