Few teams have likely had as dramatic a first half of the season as us. We finished the first 41 games at 24-17, and while there were some ups and downs, there were also some thrilling wins.
Here are the best five moments from the first half of the season:
5) Hawks Hand Cavs First Loss of Season
Fueled by a decisive rebounding advantage and a clutch shot by Kent Bazemore, we beat the Cavaliers 110-106 in Cleveland on election night:
4) Hawks Storm Back From 20 Down To Beat Bucks
Down 20 at half, we rallied back and knocked off the Bucks 114-110 in Milwaukee.
3) Schroder Hits Go-Ahead Three, Millsap's Block Seals Win Over Knicks
Down two in the final seconds, Dennis Schröder hit a go-ahead three, then Paul Millsap blocked Derrick Rose's game-winning drive to seal a win in Madison Square Garden.
2) Millsap's Clutch Shot Lifts Hawks Over Thunder In OKC
With the game tied at 108, we found our playmaker in Paul Millsap, who hit a shot in rhythm that proved to be the game-winner in a 110-108 win over the Thunder.
1) Hardaway Plays Hero As Hawks Down Spurs In OT
In what may have been the most exciting game of the season so far, Tim Hardaway Jr. hit a game-tying three to force overtime, and we hung on for a 114-112 win in overtime.
