Coming off a 19-point loss to the Knicks on Opening Night just days ago, the Hawks traveled to Memphis looking to pick up their first win of the year.
Things started off shakily, and the Grizzlies got out to a double-digit lead in the first several minutes.
Lloyd Pierce wasn’t helping matters early, running some interesting lineups. With a squad of Jeremy Lin, Deandre Bembry, Tyler Dorsey, Vince Carter and apparent center Alex Poythress out there, the lead ballooned to 17 at one point and it looked as if the Hawks were in for another long night.
