The Atlanta Hawks have had a rough time in the first half of this season. They have suffered through injuries, a coaching change, and All-Star snubs to their top performers. However, what is frustrating fans more than anything is the loss of big leads and falling short in the clutch.

The Hawks have a terrible record in the clutch. At the halfway point of the season, the Hawks record is 3-10 in the last three minutes when the score differential is under three points. This is a big reason the Hawks are not safely in playoff seeding at the mid-way point of the season.
