The Atlanta Hawks will head to the Footprint Center to face off against the Phoenix Suns in an exciting NBA 2021-22 regular-season game on Saturday. The Hawks have just one win in their last three games, and will look to give it their all when they meet Phoenix on the road.
Their last game was against the Utah Jazz, where the Hawks shot only seven times from the three-point line at 25% efficiency. Jordan Clarkson came in and produced magic from the bench for the Jazz. His 30 point performance helped them take a 116-98 win on the night.
With the loss, the Hawks are now 4-5 record this season. A win on Saturday would be a huge boost for the team, as it would give them some much-needed momentum for the games coming ahead.
