The Atlanta Hawks showed last season that the highs and lows of the NBA season can be overcome. They started the season out in fine fashion, winning four out of their first five. However, that good feeling did not last long as they were to come back to earth in a big way.
The Hawks would go on to lose six of their next seven games in their first slide of the season. The second slide came at the start of February, losing seven of their first eight games for the month.
