The Hawks’ scrapped “Magic City Night” promotion
The Hawks are no stranger to having themed nights. They were supposed to hold “Magic City Night” on Mar. 16, 2026, before it was cancelled.
This came as a bummer to the Hawks, who were “very disappointed” it was cancelled. However, the team also respected the decision. They still had rapper T.I. perform at halftime, though.
Atlanta is coming off a somewhat successful season. The Hawks finished in first place in the Southeast Division with a 46-36 record.
They made the playoffs, but they blew a 2-1 lead to the eventual champions, the New York Knicks. The Hawks became the first of the Knicks’ playoff victims despite at one point leading in their series.
To their credit, the Hawks were the only team to lead a series against the Knicks in the playoffs. However, they lost the last three games of the series, which kickstarted the Knicks’ 13-game win streak that would continue until the NBA Finals.
The Knicks didn’t lose until the third game of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. However, they got it together and won the next two to win the franchise’s first championship in 53 years.
