Dominique Wilkins averaged 30.7 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, and was named to the All-NBA Second Team, while Doc Rivers averaged 14.2 points, 9.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Wilkins and Rivers were both selected for the 1988 NBA All-Star Game, with head coach Mike Fratello coaching the Eastern Conference.[5][6] In addition, Kevin Willis provided the team with 11.6 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, while Randy Wittman contributed 10.0 points and 3.7 assists per game, Cliff Levingston provided with 10.0 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, and Tree Rollins averaged 6.0 rebounds and led the team with 1.7 blocks per game. Off the bench, John Battle contributed 10.6 points per game, and Antoine Carr averaged 8.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game.[7]

In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Hawks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in five games.[8][9] In the Eastern Conference Semi-finals, they took a 3–2 series lead over Larry Bird and the top-seeded Boston Celtics.[10][11][12] However, the Hawks would lose Game 6 at The Omni, 102–100,[13][14][15] then lose Game 7 at the Boston Garden, 118–116, thus losing the series in seven games.[16][17][18] This was the closest Wilkins had ever gotten to advancing to the conference finals.

Following the season, Wittman was traded to the Sacramento Kings,[19][20][21] and Rollins signed as a free agent with the Cleveland Cavaliers.[22][23][24]
