The 2005-06 Atlanta Hawks season was the team's 57th in the NBA.[1] After finishing the previous season with the worst record, the Hawks selected Marvin Williams with the second pick in the 2005 NBA draft, while acquiring Joe Johnson from the Phoenix Suns and signing free agent Zaza Pachulia during the offseason. However, tragedy struck as center Jason Collier suffered a heart attack during the preseason and died suddenly on October 15. The Hawks would stumble out of the gate again losing their first nine games, on their way to an awful 2–16 start. However, they would play better in December winning five of their next seven games, including a win over the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. The Hawks doubled their win total by finishing last place in the Southeast Division with a 26–56 record. Following the season, Al Harrington was traded back to the Indiana Pacers.
