The Atlanta Hawks welcomed the Memphis Grizzlies to State Farm Arena on Sunday night but couldn’t return above .500 as the hosts fell 123-119.
Trae Young scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists, while Clint Capela scored 18 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. For the Grizzlies, Ja Morant led the way with 27 points, with Desmond Bane adding 25 points.
The Grizzlies led this affair for the majority of this one but it was a close game throughout, an entertaining game throughout. Finally in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies looked like they were finally about to blow this one open when they took a nine point lead in the fourth quarter, however, the Hawks managed to prevent the double-digit lead being established and fought back to a one possession game.
