Because of the first quarter struggles, basically every win is a comeback win but a few have stood out:
December 9 @Bucks: 119-114 (W)
Hawks were down 20 at the half. Tied the game with 4:18 in the 4th before THJ had the dagger 3 in the final minute. Schröder dropped a career high 33 points.
December 23 @Nuggets: 109-108 (W)
Down 108-100 with 1:43 left, the Hawks went on a 9-0 run to close the game. All 9 points came off free throws including a tech on Mike Malone. Millsap drew a foul with 6.0 remaining and the Hawks down by 1 and scored both FTs to give the Hawks the win. This game turned around the season and since then the Hawks have gone 15-6.
January 25 @Bulls: 119-114 (W)
Hawks were down 110-100 with 3:00 left before there was a robbery at the United Center. They scored back-to-back-to-back 3s to cut the deficit to 1 and Baze lobbed it to Dwight in the final minute to give the Hawks the lead.
February 2 @Rockets: 113-108 (W)
Last night's game; Hawks were down 19 with 9:30 left and made a comeback with Millsap and Schröder on the bench. Millsap and Schröder did not play in the 4th. Bembry had the dagger dunk after a weird sequence.
Also deserving of a mention is the Celtics game (also Dunleavy's first game) where the Hawks were down by 20 with 3:23 left in the 3rd and tied it in the final minute before IT hit that tough shot to give the Celtics the win.
So don't give up on the Hawks when you're watching them (looking at you /u/Smoove-J) since you never know when they'll make a comeback.
