The Hawks and the Grizzlies met on Monday night in a matchup of the two fastest paced teams in the league. So, this game promised a high-octane up-and-down battle between two hungry teams.
Dominick Barlow, fresh off reports of inking a standard contract with the team, joined the starting lineup next to Onyeka Okongwu in the frontcourt.
