The 2000-01 Atlanta Hawks endured a challenging season, finishing last in the Central Division with a 25-57 record. The team struggled to find consistency, both offensively and defensively, which contributed to their poor performance. Key players included Jason Terry, who led the team in scoring, and Dikembe Mutombo, who was traded midway through the season to the Philadelphia 76ers, impacting the Hawks’ defensive strength.
The coaching staff, led by head coach Lon Kruger in his first season with the team, faced difficulties in integrating new players and developing team chemistry. The Hawks also dealt with injuries, further complicating their rotation and strategy. Despite these challenges, the season saw some individual growth, with Terry emerging as a reliable scorer. The 2000-01 season marked a period of transition for the Hawks, as they looked to rebuild and improve in subsequent seasons.
- Regular Season Record: 25-57
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
