The Atlanta Hawks are one game away from being eliminated from the playoffs. They are also two games away from making their first NBA Finals appearance during their time in Atlanta. This is such an impressive effort for a team for whom the majority of their core had not played playoff basketball before.
The Hawks had an opportunity in the fifth game of the series to get an advantage over the Bucks in the series with Giannis Antetokounmpo out. Unfortunately for the Hawks, they were beaten to the punch by a more experienced Bucks team at home.
