History was made at the Highlight Factory last night.
The Atlanta Hawks picked up their first home win of the 2018-17 NBA season, just their third win of the year but it was a blow out to say the least. The Atlanta Hawks (126-80) victory was the largest victory in Hawks history in either St. Louis or Atlanta. The Hawks set the tone early in the first quarter and they never looked back.
Last night we won by FORTY SIX!

Dennis Schroder was the leading scorer for the Hawks but the game ball last night went to Hawks big man DeWayne Dedmon. Dedmon finished Wednesday night’s matchup with 20 points and 14 rebounds and he displayed that he has expanded his game beyond the three point line. Rookie John Collins finished with 14 points on (7-9) shooting from the field. Isaiah Taylor added 12 points and Malcolm Delaney and Marco Bellineli both finished the night with 10 points.
