Recent Trends and Performance


The Atlanta Hawks have had a mixed bag of results in their last few outings. In their most recent game against the Dallas Mavericks, despite putting up a valiant effort with 118 points, they narrowly missed out on victory by just 2 points. This loss was characterized by solid team play, with notable contributions across the board leading to an overall efficiency game score of 94.2. However, it wasn't enough to overcome their opponents on that day.


In contrast, during their encounter with the Portland Trail Blazers, despite scoring 113 points and showcasing impressive fast-break plays that resulted in 25 fast-break points, they were unable to secure a win. The game highlighted some defensive challenges as they allowed 127 points against them.

However, it's worth noting that in another recent match against Milwaukee Bucks, the Hawks demonstrated what they are capable of when firing on all cylinders. Scoring an impressive 145 points led by dynamic offensive strategies which saw them leading for over 35 minutes of gameplay time and achieving an efficiency game score of 133.2.
