The 2021–22 Atlanta Hawks season was the 73rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 54th in Atlanta. The Hawks entered the season with much higher expectations due to their surprising Eastern Conference finals appearance in the previous season, but struggled on defense and hovered around .500 for most of the season. Despite the struggles, the Hawks qualified for the play-in tournament after a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on April 12. They defeated both the Charlotte Hornets and the Cleveland Cavaliers to clinch a playoff berth as the No. 8 seed, but fell to the top-seeded Miami Heat in five games.
