The Atlanta Hawks suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, dropping another game at State Farm Arena in a 126-111 contest against the Miami Heat on Friday night.
ATLANTA, GA – Defeated. Deflated. Dejected. That was the vibe of the Atlanta Hawks when the clock hit zero after losing 126-111 to the Miami Heat a day after Christmas.
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
The Atlanta Hawks were coming into this game with a record of 2-8 in their last 10 games and were looking for a much-needed win against an undermanned Miami Heat team.
The Atlanta Hawks were back at home a day after Christmas Day to face the Miami Heat. The Hawks were looking to get out of their current losing streak after dropping two games at home to the Chicago Bulls this week.
After getting Christmas Day off, the Hawks are back in action tonight with plenty to prove against a Heat team that's directly above them in the standings.
The Atlanta Hawks are nowhere near where they envisioned they would be heading into the 2025-26 campaign. This past offseason, they were very aggressive, bringing in Kristaps Porzingis and Nickeil Alexander-Walker via trade and free agency, respectively, to try and make the leap in the wide-open Eastern Conference.
The Christmas holidays are a time for gifts and wishes to come true. Therefore, the holiday is coming at a good time for the 2025-26 Atlanta Hawks because there's a lot for them to wish for.
With the holiday season approaching, trade talks are officially going to start heating up around the NBA. It seems that in some form, the Atlanta Hawks will be involved.
Happy holidays to you and yours! Today is the day Santa Claus brings gifts to all the nice kids — and coal for the naughty ones. What about theses Atlanta Hawks?
The NBA is offering an “our bad” after Tuesday’s Chicago Bulls-Atlanta Hawks game. Chicago defeated Atlanta by a final score of 126-123 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Ga.
On Tuesday evening, the Atlanta Hawks lost their fourth straight game with a brutal home loss against the Chicago Bulls. This was the second straight game in which the Hawks hosted the Bulls at State Farm Arena, with the first being a wild shootout in which the teams combined for over 300 points.
Losing to the 2025-26 Chicago Bulls twice in the span of two games is a tough pill to swallow. That being said, it's very arguable that the Hawks lost the second game partially due to a erroneous foul on Zaccharie Risacher on the final play of the second game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo could be the biggest name on the move before the trade deadline in February. Antetokounmpo is reportedly unhappy with the Milwaukee Bucks for failing to build a contending team around him.
It wasn’t supposed to end this way. Not when the Atlanta Hawks were cruising with an 18-point lead over the Bulls in the second quarter. Not even when they held a comfortable 10-point cushion with under six minutes left in the game.
The Atlanta Hawks have not had much injury luck this season, and most of them have come from frontcourt players at the end of the bench. In a span of just two weeks, the Hawks have lost three G League players to season-ending injuries: Jacob Toppin, Eli Ndiaye, and, most recently, N’Faly Dante.
The Atlanta Hawks frontcourt has been plagued by injuries recently. But the Hawks took a step in providing some depth with the signing of Malik Williams, per ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisik.
The Hawks have reached an agreement with center Malik Williams on a two-way contract, sources tell Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN (Twitter link). Williams has been playing for Atlanta’s G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks, appearing in 14 games for the team so far this season.
Hawks star point guard Trae Young made his highly anticipated return last week, but the results did not exactly inspire confidence that Atlanta is ready to vault toward contention in the Eastern Conference.
The Atlanta Hawks may be interested in Giannis Antetokounmpo. They just don’t want to pay that price. According to Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal, Atlanta has no appetite for including Jalen Johnson in any pursuit of the Bucks star.
Atlanta Hawks center N'Faly Dante will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, the team announced on Tuesday. Dante sustained the injury last Friday while playing for the College Park Skyhawks in the NBA G League Winter Showcase in Orlando, Fla.
Hawks center N’Faly Dante has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee, the team announced today in a press release. According to the Hawks, Dante will undergo surgery in January and will miss the rest of the 2025/26 season.
