The Atlanta Hawks hit the road again on Saturday, taking on the Memphis Grizzlies in the team’s second game of the 2020-21 regular season. While the two teams battled twice in the preseason, the stakes were considerably higher in this matchup, though both squads faced high-profile injury absences with players like Danilo Gallinari, Clint Capela, Jaren Jackson Jr. and De’Anthony Melton sidelined. After a 48-minute battle, the Hawks picked up their second straight victory, outlasting the Grizzlies by a 122-112 margin.
The Hawks began the night slowly on the offensive end, scoring only two points in almost four minutes.
