Hawks' Trae Young: Strong performance despite loss
Young chipped in 30 points (9-28 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 128-120 loss to the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Young ended his season with another strong performance, capping off a postseason that somewhat salvaged a modest season. The Hawks remain in limbo when it comes to direction and team construction, with a couple of questions yet to be answered. On paper, they have a roster that can certainly compete on any given night, and yet they struggled to even make the postseason.

Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Sneaky double-double in return
Murray closed Thursday's 128-120 loss to the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
Murray returned from a one-game suspension, ending with a double-double as the Hawks were finally bundled out of the playoffs. On the whole, Murray put together a serviceable season, yet he certainly fell short of the mark in a couple of areas. His fit alongside Trae Young remains questionable, especially given his continued inability to spread the floor with any regularity.

Hawks' John Collins: Modest end to season
Collins produced 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 128-120 loss to Boston in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Collins wasn't terrible in the Game 6 loss but certainly didn't set the world on fire either. Thursday's defeat brings to an end what can only be described as an underwhelming campaign for both Collins and the Hawks. Despite having proven himself in the past, Collins looked like a shell of his former self for a solid portion of the season. Heading into 2023-24, he is going to have to make some significant changes should he hope to be a key piece on a team with playoff aspirations.

Hawks' Dejounte Murray: Set to return Thursday
Murray (suspension) is slated to be available for Thursday's Game 6 against the Celtics, Coley Harvey of ESPN reports.
Murray was suspended by the NBA for Tuesday's Game 5 after he made contact with an official during Sunday's matchup. However, he'll return to action Thursday after the Hawks managed to extend the series Tuesday. The 26-year-old has been productive over his first four playoff appearances against the Celtics, averaging 25.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.3 steals in 38.3 minutes per game.

Hawks' John Collins: Finally gets going in win
Collins recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 win over the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Better late than never is what they say, and this was certainly the case Tuesday. After a poor showing thus far in the playoffs, Collins finally rediscovered some form right when the Hawks needed it the most. Based on his inconsistent production this season, stringing two strong games together could prove difficult for Collins. Hawks fans will be hoping he can build off this effort Thursday in Atlanta, as they attempt to extend the series to Game 7.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Shines in spot start
Bogdanovic notched 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 win over the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Bogdanovic moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Dejounte Murray who was serving a one-game suspension. Playing increased minutes, Bogdanovic turned in his best performance of the opening-round series, helping the Hawks to an incredible come-from-behind victory. Murray will return for Game 6, presumably sending Bogdanovic back to the bench. No matter his designation, Bogdanovic will need to keep his foot on the gas should the Hawks hope to force a Game 7.

Hawks' Trae Young: Cold-blooded performance Tuesday
Young recorded 38 points (14-33 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in 44 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 victory over the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Young put the Hawks on his back, carrying them to an improbable victory in front of a vocal Boston crowd. Young capped off an incredible individual performance, nailing the game-winning three-pointer with just 1.8 seconds remaining. Dejounte Murray (suspension) will return for Thursday's Game 6 in Atlanta. Down 3-2 in the series, Young and the Hawks will look to maintain their momentum and send it to a Game 7.
