1994–95 Atlanta Hawks season

The 1994–95 NBA season was the Hawks' 46th season in the National Basketball Association, and 27th season in Atlanta.[1] During the offseason, the Hawks acquired Ken Norman from the Milwaukee Bucks, and Tyrone Corbin from the Utah Jazz. Early into the season, they traded Kevin Willis to the Miami Heat for Steve Smith and Grant Long after the first two games.[2] Without Dominique Wilkins, who signed with the Boston Celtics in the offseason, the Hawks struggled losing their first four games and held a 12–19 record as of January 4. However, Lenny Wilkens made history by becoming the NBA's all-time winningest coach, surpassing Red Auerbach on January 6 with 939 wins in a 112–90 win over the Washington Bullets.[3] The Hawks won seven of their final ten games finishing fifth in the Central Division with a mediocre 42–40 record. Mookie Blaylock led the team in scoring, assists, steals and three-point field goals.

However, in the first round of the playoffs, the Hawks would be eliminated by the Indiana Pacers for the second consecutive season, as they were swept in three straight games. Following the season, Corbin was traded to the Sacramento Kings, and Jon Koncak signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Orlando Magic.

For the season, the Hawks added black alternate road uniforms which only lasted for just one season.
