The Atlanta Hawks were one of the biggest surprises during the 2020-21 NBA season. They were floundering with Lloyd Pierce as head coach, but once he was fired and Nate McMillan took over, the team went on a run.

Pierce was relieved of his head coaching duties after the team began the season 14-20. Stuck in a rut, McMillan took over, and the team instantly turned things around, winning the first eight games he was the interim head coach for.

Atlanta would finish the season with a 27-11 under McMillan, earning the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Not having a home-court advantage didn’t hurt them, as they defeated the New York Knicks in five games in the first round and the Philadelphia 76ers in seven games in the second round.

They fell to the eventual champion Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals, but they had a magnificent run. This offseason, they were looking to cement themselves among the best teams in the conference.
