1987–88 Atlanta Hawks season

The 1987–88 NBA season was the Hawks' 39th season in the NBA and 20th season in Atlanta, in the U.S. state of Georgia.[1] The Hawks finished third in the Central Division with a 50–32 record. Dominique Wilkins made the All-NBA Second Team, and was selected along with Doc Rivers for the 1988 NBA All-Star Game. In the first round of the playoffs, the Hawks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in five games. In the semifinals, they took a 3–2 series lead over Larry Bird and the top-seeded Boston Celtics, but lost the final two games thus losing the series. This was the closest Wilkins had ever gotten to advancing to the Conference Finals.
