Judging by win percentage the 1986-87 Atlanta Hawks had the best regular season in franchise history up to that point. Their 57-25 record translated to a .695 win percentage. The closest competitors for the franchise’s best regular season came back in their St. Louis days. During their final season in Missouri, the Hawks had run off a 56-26 record (.683) in 1967-68. Another superb season was in 1958-59 when they posted a 49-23 record (.681).
I LOVE these. Thank you!
As a lifelong Pacer fan, it's nice to revisit this first moment of playoff success. And yes, winning a game felt like success back then!
