Message from Atlanta Hawks to their fans

Here’s what the Atlanta Hawks have to say about their own season and playoff run, which ended last night in a 4-0 sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals:

We had the largest increase in attendance in the NBA and sold out Philips Arena 32 of the last 35 games.

We won a franchise-best 60 games, captured the Division Championship for the first time in 21 years and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in Atlanta history.

We had four players named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team – the most ever in club history.

We witnessed Mike Budenholzer named NBA Coach of the Year in just his second season at the helm.

We finished the month of January with a perfect 17-0 record, the most wins in an undefeated month in NBA history, earning our entire starting five the Eastern Conference Player of the Month honors.

We achieved record broadcast ratings on both television and radio, including the top 5 most-watched Hawks basketball games in club history.

We created an awe-inspiring and imposing home court environment, with an Eastern Conference-best 35-6 record at home.

We honored our greatest legacy, Dominique Wilkins, and erected a permanent statue to greet fans and players each time they enter the arena to celebrate his many accomplishments and contributions to our franchise.
