The 1990-91 season was the Hawks' 44th season in the NBA. Under new head coach Bob Weiss, the Hawks played erratic basketball all season losing nine consecutive games in November. They went on to finish fourth in the Central Division with a 43-39 record. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they would lose to the Detroit Pistons in a full five game series. Following the season, Doc Rivers was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, and Spud Webb was sent to the Sacramento Kings.
