In the off-season, the Hawks introduced a new logo and uniforms for the season.
In the regular season, the Hawks came 12 games short of tying their franchise-best 60–22 record from their previous season. They defeated the Boston Celtics in the opening round, but were swept in four games by the LeBron James-led and eventual NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers in the Semifinals, who had also swept them in last season's Eastern Conference finals as well as the 2009 Eastern Conference Semi-finals.
Also, this season was the end of the Al Horford era in Atlanta, as he joined the Celtics during the following season.
