Recapping and handing out player grades to the Atlanta Hawks for their efforts against Memphis on Saturday night.
The Atlanta Hawks took a early 5-2 lead that was quickly a 16-5 then 26-9 deficit. They could make nothing in the first period despite getting good looks, making three of their first 14 shots while turning the ball over five times. The Grizzlies took a 38-18 lead into the second quarter.
The Memphis lead shot up to 26 at some points, with the Hawks lucky to go into the halftime break down 21. The Hawks made 14 of their 47 first half shots, while the Grizzlies made over 50 percent of their attempts.
It was one of the worst halves in recent Hawks memory.
