The offense continued to click at an extremely high rate of efficiency on Friday evening as the Hawks put up 132 points without a single starter playing in the fourth quarter. In a loss, the Grizzlies couldn’t do anything with Trae Young regardless of what coverage and what personnel they threw at the Atlanta point guard.
By the end of the third quarter the Hawks had a robust 39-point lead having posted 105 points, which included 60 points in the paint. They managed a better than 60% shooting mark from both two-point and three point range in the first three periods.
