The Atlanta Hawks opened up their 2022 Summer League schedule on Saturday evening when they took on the Utah Jazz from Las Vegas. Of note, Jalen Johnson is not with the Summer League team as he is rehabbing from a knee procedure. Rookie AJ Griffin did not appear in this contest but is on the Summer roster.
The Hawks struggled tremendously on the offensive end throughout the first half, scoring just 13 points in each of the first and second quarters. Utah lead end-to-end, never trailing in the 72-66 win.
The Jazz were able to essentially shut down Atlanta’s offense in the halfcourt in this one.
