The Atlanta Hawks won their first game of Summer League Las Vegas after overcoming the New Orleans Pelicans 84-82 in a tight and entertaining affair at Cox Pavilion on Sunday afternoon.
Here are some of the things that stood out from the Hawks’ victory.
After attempting just four shots (and scoring eight points) in the Hawks’ first Summer League game, Hawks rookie John Collins truly announced himself to Hawks fans (and indeed, NBA fans) with a super performance against the Pelicans — 22 points on 9-of-11 shooting and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action.
