1990–91 Atlanta Hawks season

The 1990–91 NBA season was the Hawks' 42nd season in the National Basketball Association, and 23rd season in Atlanta.[1] Under new head coach Bob Weiss, the Hawks won their first three games. However, after a 4–1 start, they lost nine consecutive games in November, but went on to win 20 of their next 25 games including a 7-game winning streak. The Hawks finished fourth in the Central Division with a 43–39 record. Dominique Wilkins made the All-NBA Second Team averaging 25.9 points per game while being selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game. In the first round of the playoffs, the Hawks faced the defending champion Detroit Pistons. The Hawks won Game 1 at The Palace of Auburn Hills 103–98, but would lose the next two games. After winning Game 4 at The Omni, they lost the series in five games.[2]
