The Atlanta Hawks once again enjoyed being on the right side of a narrow one-point game, emerging as victors in Thursday night’s contest against the Memphis Grizzlies at State Farm Arena, 103-102.
Trae Young led the Hawks with 20 points in the first half, and Jalen Johnson added 14 points. For the Grizzlies, GG Jackson scored 20 points while Santi Aldama added 22 points.
In typical preseason affair, both sides had key players sitting this game out — for the Hawks De’Andre Hunter, Saddiq Bey and Onyeka Okongwu all missed this contest. For the Grizzlies, the suspended Ja Morant was of course absent along with Jaren Jackson Jr.
