The 1993-94 Atlanta Hawks finished the NBA regular season with an impressive 57-25 record, securing the top spot in the Central Division. Under head coach Lenny Wilkens, the team excelled with a strong defensive presence, led by NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Dikembe Mutombo, who anchored the paint.
Offensively, the Hawks were spearheaded by Dominique Wilkins, until his midseason trade to the Los Angeles Clippers for Danny Manning. Despite the trade, the Hawks maintained their momentum and clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
In the playoffs, however, the Hawks were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals by the Indiana Pacers in a tough seven-game series. The season remains notable for the Hawks’ division title and their balanced team effort, making them a formidable force in the league during that period.
- Regular Season Record: 57-25
- Playoff Result: Eastern Conference First Round: 3-2, Eastern Conference Semifinals: 2-4
