    ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION DATE: 02/23/2021 Hawks crumble in final seconds of loss to Cavaliers By: Sarah K. Spencer https://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-hawks/hawks-crumble-in-final-seconds-of-loss-to- cavaliers/AJWKTFNBRZFTNJXPTAFOXQWDSM/ In another late collapse, the Hawks lost to the Cavaliers 112-111 Tuesday in Cleveland. It ended the Cavs’ 10-game losing streak. Next up, the Hawks (13-18) will try to get their first win on the second night of a back-to-back when they host the Celtics Wednesday at State Farm Arena. Below are some takeaways from the loss: 1. After missing three games for the birth of his second daughter, Londyn Elle, Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce was back at the helm Tuesday night. Pierce was originally expected back for the game against Denver Sunday, but had to test negative for COVID-19 for longer at the league’s behest, since he had been on a plane and in a hospital recently. Assistant coach Nate McMillan filled in for Pierce for those three games, with the Hawks recording a win against Denver and splitting a series vs. Boston. 2. Against a Cavaliers team that was missing Andre Drummond, Kevin Love, Larry Nance Jr., Taurean Prince, Matthew Dellavedova and Marques Bolden, this was a truly bad loss for the Hawks, who continue to struggle to close out games. Tied 84-84 entering the fourth quarter, they worked their way up to a six-point lead with about five minutes to play and seemed to be trending in the right direction, but allowed Cleveland (11-21) to hang around and steal a win late.

  • Hawks Win Fifth Straight for First Time Since 2016 Season
    ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION DATE: 03/14/2021 Hawks win fifth straight for first time since 2016 season By: Sarah K. Spencer https://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-hawks/hawks-beat-cavs-have-won-five-straight-for-first-time- since-2016-season/JXNZCMNYUBCHZOT7HWYZEJK4DQ/ With a dominant fourth quarter, the Hawks beat the Cavaliers, 100-82, Sunday at State Farm Arena. Next up, the Hawks play in Houston Tuesday. Below are some takeaways from the win: 1. This marks the Hawks’ first five-game winning streak since the 2016-17 season, when they won seven straight from Dec. 28, 2016-Jan. 10, 2017. That was the last year they made the playoffs. 2. Before the game, interim head coach Nate McMillan acknowledged that the Cavaliers (14-24) have had the Hawks’ number this year, and they would need to play a full 48 minutes to rectify the situation. In their two prior losses to the Cavs this season, the Hawks crumbled late, held to 35 points in the second half of a 96-91 loss Jan. 2 and gave up a wide-open dunk in the final seconds of a 112-111 loss Feb. 23. In fact, the Hawks had lost four straight games to the Cavs, dating back to December of last season. They finally righted the ship in Sunday’s win, and did so with a huge fourth-quarter performance. 3. The Hawks (19-20) were up three after an ugly first half and led by three going into the fourth quarter before breaking the game open with a 20-2 run to start the final period.

  • Hawks Acquire Danilo Gallinari
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 11/24/20 CONTACT: Hawks Communications (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS ACQUIRE FORWARD DANILO GALLINARI FROM THUNDER Veteran Sharpshooter Averaged 18.7 PPG Last Season ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks have acquired forward Danilo Gallinari (da-KNEE-lo gal-in-ARE-ee) and cash considerations from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for a conditional 2025 second-round pick in a sign-and- trade transaction, the team announced today. “Danilo checks a lot of boxes for what we have prioritized. We wanted to add productive veterans and high-level shooting to our group and he provides both. At his size, he is one of the league’s most versatile and efficient scorers and he has proven to be the type of veteran you want in your locker room,” said Hawks President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Travis Schlenk. Last season in 62 games with Oklahoma City, the 6-foot-10 native of Sant’Angelo Lodigiano, Italy averaged 18.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 29.6 minutes (.438 FG%, .405 3FG%, .893 FT%), ranking 16th in the league in three- pointers made (178), tied for 19th in three-point percentage and sixth in free-throw percentage. Over the last two seasons, Gallinari has averaged 19.3 points while shooting .418 3FGs (on 6.2 3FGA per game). Through 11 NBA seasons, in 611 games (541 starts) with New York, Denver, the LA Clippers and Oklahoma City, Gallinari has averaged 16.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 30.9 minutes (.427 FG%, .380 3FG%, .873 FT%).
