After taking a pair of ugly losses at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2019-20 season, the Atlanta Hawks were able to get a bit of revenge on Saturday evening with a 122-112 win on the road.
The victory moves them to a record of 2-0 on the season, not even a week old yet. If that sounds familiar, they opened with consecutive wins last year to generate some optimism that would not carry them far. They would go on to win just 20 games.
With a much stronger roster this season, there seems to be a more credible case to be bullish on the Atlanta squad.
