SERIES NOTES:

Post-series assessment: With their Game 7 victory to complete not only their series but the entire 2009 NBA Preliminary round, the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Miami Heat 4-games-3 in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1074, thereby ending a 14-series best-of-7 NBA playoff series losing streak. The last Atlanta Hawks best-of-7 NBA playoff series victory was in series 226, in which they topped the Chicago Bulls 4-games-1 in the 1970 NBA Quarterfinals. With the series 1074 win, the Atlanta Hawks improve their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record to 3-15 overall and 1-1 in the Preliminary round. With the series 1074 loss, the Miami Heat see their best-of-7 NBA playoff series record fall to 8-6 overall and 3-2 in the Preliminary round. During series 1074, Atlanta also broke a Game 1 losing streak of fourteen games in best-of-7 NBA playoff series. The victorious Atlanta Hawks posted a win order of WLLWWLW in series 1074: Series 1074 thus becomes the first NBA Preliminary-round series, the fifth NBA series (all rounds), and the fifteenth MLB/NBA/NHL series (all rounds) to follow that win order to completion.
