The clouds of uncertainty were hovering over Illawarra Hawks at the start of the 2021 season. After all, the team started the campaign with new owners, a new coach and staff and an almost new set of players, in what was a complete overhaul of the team right from the top to bottom. But the Hawks are reaping rewards for their good decision-making off the pitch, like recruiting better players, and the tactical nuance of the coach. The Hawks surprised one and all with their performance and deservedly booked their spot in the top four. Their reward is a semi-final match-up against Perth Wildcats.
