Mutombo and Smith were both selected for the 1998 NBA All-Star Game.[16][17][18] In addition, Alan Henderson averaged 14.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, after replacing Christian Laettner as the team’s starting power forward at midseason, and was named Most Improved Player of the Year,[19][20][21][22] while Laettner provided the team with 13.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and Mookie Blaylock contributed 13.2 points, 6.7 assists, led the league with 2.6 steals per game, and was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. Tyrone Corbin provided with 10.2 points and 1.3 steals per game, and Eldridge Recasner contributed 9.3 points per game off the bench.[23] Blaylock also finished tied in fifth place in Defensive Player of the Year voting.[24]However, in the playoffs, the Hawks lost in four games to the Charlotte Hornets in the Eastern Conference First Round,[25][26][27][28] despite a 32-point margin in a Game 3 home win over the Hornets, 96\u201364.[29][30][31] Following the season, Laettner was traded to the Detroit Pistons,[32][33][34] while Recasner and Brown both signed as free agents with the Charlotte Hornets,[35] and Anderson was released to free agency.On March 27, 1998, the Hawks set a single game regular season attendance record of 62,046 fans at the Georgia Dome in a game against Michael Jordan, and the 2-time defending champion Chicago Bulls, who defeated the Hawks, 89\u201374.[36][37][38] The Bulls would go on to defeat the Utah Jazz in six games in the NBA Finals for their third consecutive championship, and sixth overall in eight years.[39][40][41][42][43]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsOffseason[edit]Draft picks[edit]Roster Notes[edit]Regular season[edit]Season standings[edit]Record vs. opponents[edit]Game log[edit]Playoffs[edit]Player statistics[edit]Season[edit]Playoffs[edit]Awards and records[edit]Transactions[edit]Trades[edit]Free agents[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Offseason[edit]Draft picks[edit]RoundPickPlayerPositionNationalityCollege122Ed GraySG\u00a0United StatesCalifornia249Alain DigbeuSG\/SF\u00a0France250Chris CrawfordPF\/SF\u00a0United StatesMarquette1997\u201398 Atlanta Hawks rosterPlayersCoachesPos.No.NameHeightWeightDOB (YYYY-MM-DD)FromC0Anderson, Greg6\u00a0ft 10\u00a0in (2.08\u00a0m)230\u00a0lb (104\u00a0kg)1964\u201306\u201322HoustonG11Barry, Drew6\u00a0ft 5\u00a0in (1.96\u00a0m)191\u00a0lb (87\u00a0kg)1973\u201302\u201317Georgia TechG10Blaylock, Mookie6\u00a0ft 0\u00a0in (1.83\u00a0m)180\u00a0lb (82\u00a0kg)1967\u201303\u201320OklahomaF52Brown, Chucky6\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in (2.01\u00a0m)214\u00a0lb (97\u00a0kg)1968\u201302\u201329NC StateF33Corbin, Tyrone6\u00a0ft 6\u00a0in (1.98\u00a0m)210\u00a0lb (95\u00a0kg)1962\u201312\u201331DePaulF4Crawford, Chris6\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in (2.06\u00a0m)235\u00a0lb (107\u00a0kg)1975\u201305\u201313MarquetteG22Gray, Ed\u00a0\u00a0(S)6\u00a0ft 3\u00a0in (1.91\u00a0m)210\u00a0lb (95\u00a0kg)1975\u201309\u201327CaliforniaF44Henderson, Alan6\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in (2.06\u00a0m)235\u00a0lb (107\u00a0kg)1972\u201312\u201302IndianaF\/C32Laettner, Christian6\u00a0ft 11\u00a0in (2.11\u00a0m)235\u00a0lb (107\u00a0kg)1969\u201308\u201317DukeF2Miller, Anthony6\u00a0ft 9\u00a0in (2.06\u00a0m)235\u00a0lb (107\u00a0kg)1971\u201310\u201322Michigan StateC55Mutombo, Dikembe7\u00a0ft 2\u00a0in (2.18\u00a0m)260\u00a0lb (118\u00a0kg)1966\u201306\u201325GeorgetownG3Recasner, Eldridge6\u00a0ft 3\u00a0in (1.91\u00a0m)190\u00a0lb (86\u00a0kg)1967\u201312\u201314WashingtonG8Smith, Steve6\u00a0ft 7\u00a0in (2.01\u00a0m)200\u00a0lb (91\u00a0kg)1969\u201303\u201331Michigan StateHead coachAssistant coach(es)Legend(C) Team captain(DP) Unsigned draft pick(FA) Free agent(S) Suspended InjuredRosterRoster Notes[edit]Rookie shooting guard Ed Gray was suspended indefinitely after playing 30 games for missing medical appointments.
