Hawks Set to Soar or Stumble at Memphis' FedExForum

As the Atlanta Hawks prepare to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Hawks have shown a mix of resilience and vulnerability in their past performances, with a notable victory over Orlando Magic where they led for over 20 minutes and secured a 17-point win. This game highlighted their ability to capitalize on fast breaks and convert points off turnovers, showcasing an impressive offensive rating of 110.68.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Hawks as seen in their narrow loss to the Toronto Raptors despite outscoring them in second-chance points and dominating the boards with 66 rebounds. Their defensive efforts were not enough to secure a win, as they allowed 123 points with a defensive rating that crept up to 115.47.

The most concerning aspect for Atlanta was evident in their defeat against Charlotte Hornets where they trailed for more than three-quarters of the game and struggled defensively, allowing a high opponent possession score which resulted in conceding 122 points.

As we approach this upcoming clash on March 8th at Memphis' renowned FedExForum, it's crucial for Atlanta's defense to tighten up and reduce opponent scoring opportunities while continuing their aggressive play that has proven successful on offense.
