The Atlanta Hawks capped off their 2021-22 regular season with a victory in Houston over the rebuilding Rockets, 130-114, on Sunday afternoon.
Trae Young led the Hawks with 28 points and 11 assists, while Danilo Gallinari added 26 points.
For the Rockets, rookie Jalen Green poured out 41 points in Houston’s final game of the season, while Kevin Porter Jr. scored 26 points.
The Hawks were, naturally, favorites heading into this contest given that the Rockets are not only the side with the NBA’s worst record but with the Hawks also playing a full rotation as they possibly could given their seeding situation, jostling for position.
