With the Hawks taking the floor in their City Edition Uniforms modeled after the red, black and yellow 90s throwback scheme, Atlanta was looking to start a new trend in advance of a brutal West Coast road trip after tonight. The Hawks came into the contest tonight at a record of 4-4 and 3-0 at home, but had been just 1-3 in their last four games.
The Utah Jazz were without the services of Donovan Mitchell and relied on a Mike Conley Jr. and Joe Ingles backcourt to lead them tonight. The Hawks countered with their full assortment of 15 players minus Onyeka Okongwu who is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
