The Atlanta Hawks traveled to Utah to face the Jazz on Friday night. This would be Quin Snyder’s first visit back to Utah, and he received nothing but love from the fans alongside a video tribute. Jalen Johnson came back from injury to start while Bogdan Bogdanovic was unavailable.
Vit Krejci scored the first points of the game for the Hawks. John Collins scored the first 5 points for the Jazz. Both teams combined for nine three-point attempts less than three minutes into the game. Wes Matthews made three shots from beyond the arc, and the Hawks trailed by two points halfway through the first quarter.
