Atlanta’s guests played in this game without tall Clinto Capelos, Danilo Gallinari, who was removed from the list of registered players with a foot injury, Onyeka Okongwu, this year’s sixth rookie, and District Rondo and Chris Dunn.
The hosts received no help from Jaren Jackson and Justise Winslow.
In a tense and changeable struggle, the dominance of various points spread from side to side. At the end of the third half, the Hawks had an unbeatable lead, but the Memphis team’s forward attack was delayed by Dillon Brooks, who scored seven straight points and whose three-point lead led the Grizzlies forward 88:87.
The hosts started the decisive half with extreme failure. Jonas Valančiūnas lost two balls in attack, and taking advantage of the opportunities, the Hawks accelerated 8-0 and took control of the game.
After a break requested by Jenkins, JV recovered with a two-point foul and an effective pass to a triple from Kyle Anderson, who played a career game. After regaining their self-confidence, the Grizzles went five minutes ahead and again led by one point: 104: 103.
Any optimism from the hosts crumbled in the next few minutes. Leading another fantastic show, Trae Young’s guests from Atlanta finished the match 18: 9 and celebrated the win in Memphis on the first acre on March 11, 2017.
Despite his unusually poor accuracy from afar, the young Hawks leader became the brightest figure in the game. In 35 minutes played, Young scored 36 points (9/17 double, 1/7 trip, 15/17 penalty) and 9 assists.

Grizzlies winger Anderson set new career records in the points and rebounding stat categories. The former San Antonio Spurs member had 20 points and 14 rebounds against the Hawks.
“Grizzlies”: Ja Morant 28 (8/15 dit., 2/7 trit., 6/8 penalty, 7 res.), Kyle Anderson 20 (14 sec.), Dillon Brooks 19 (5/12 d., 3/11 trit.), Grayson Allen 10 points.

After playing the first two games at home and losing to the Grizzlies, the next game will be played Monday night through Tuesday. Memphis basketball players will have a trip to Brooklyn and a showdown with the Nets team, which is still showing insanely good sports form.
