The Atlanta Hawks were a far more entertaining team in 2018-19 than they were the season prior, but they still only produced at the level of a roughly 25-win team – which was their exact win total from that listless and dull 2017-18 campaign.
Perhaps two of the things dragging the team down last season was the team’s propensity for coughing the ball via turnover or committing senseless fouls.
According to The Athletic, the Hawks were first in the league as a team in turnovers with a whopping 1363 – nearly 120 more than the second-place Los Angeles Lakers at 1246.
