The 2022-23 NBA season for the Atlanta Hawks was marked by a mix of promise and challenges. Under head coach Nate McMillan until February, and then Quin Snyder, the Hawks finished the regular season with a 41-41 record, placing them eighth in the Eastern Conference. The team showcased offensive prowess, largely driven by star point guard Trae Young, who averaged 26.2 points and 10.2 assists per game.
In the playoffs, the Hawks secured a spot after a victory in the Play-In Tournament against the Miami Heat. However, their postseason run was short-lived as they faced the Boston Celtics in the first round. The Hawks showed resilience, managing to push the series to six games, but ultimately fell 4-2 to the Celtics. The season highlighted the need for defensive improvements and greater consistency to advance further in future playoff campaigns.
