Atlanta returned to preseason action last night against the Memphis Grizzlies, where they picked up their first win, 122-116. While the outcome of a preseason game does not matter in the grand scheme of things, there was no shortage of intrigue as the new-look Hawks took on the Grizzlies.
These were not the same teams that will be facing off against each other in the regular season, as Memphis was without their star players, Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.
Still though, plenty was at stake for a certain player who was looking to prove a point.
