The 2007–08 Atlanta Hawks season was the 62nd season of the franchise, 59th in the National Basketball Association (NBA). After missing the playoffs for eight straight seasons, the Hawks selected Al Horford out of the University of Florida with the third pick of the 2007 NBA draft. The Hawks started out the season by defeating the Dallas Mavericks 101–94 in their season opener, marking the first time they won their first game of the season since the 1999 lockout season. However, their struggles continued as they went on a six-game losing streak around the All-Star break. At midseason, the Hawks acquired Mike Bibby from the Sacramento Kings. The Hawks finished third in the Southeast Division with a 37–45 record, and made the playoffs for the first time since 1999. In the first round of the playoffs, they lost to the Boston Celtics in seven games.
