The Atlanta Hawks’ 2021-22 NBA season was a roller-coaster ride, finishing with a 43-39 record. Despite a slow start, the team managed to secure the 9th seed in the Eastern Conference. Trae Young led the charge, averaging 28.4 points and 9.7 assists per game, earning an All-Star selection and demonstrating his prowess as one of the league’s premier young talents.
The Hawks’ season was marked by inconsistency, partly due to injuries and COVID-19 disruptions. They ranked 6th in offensive efficiency but struggled defensively, finishing 26th in defensive rating. In the playoffs, Atlanta defeated the Charlotte Hornets and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Play-In Tournament to claim the 8th seed. However, their postseason run was short-lived as they fell to the Miami Heat in five games in the first round. Despite the early exit, the Hawks showcased their potential, setting a foundation for future growth.
