The San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks will lock horns with each other in an exciting 2021-22 NBA regular-season game at State Farm Arena on Friday.
The Spurs haven't been in the best of form of late, losing four of their last five games. The Cleveland Cavaliers handed San Antonio a 105-92 loss in their previous outing. They started the game well but couldn't keep up the momentum entering the second quarter, getting outscored 18-28 during that stretch. That set the tone for the Cavs to win the tie, despite first-time All-Star Dejounte Murray's 17-point, nine-assist effort.
Meanwhile, the Hawks snapped a two-game skid, beating the Indiana Pacers 133-112 in their last match. They led by 18 points by the end of the first quarter and never looked back. Trae Young scored 34 points and dished out 11 assists, shooting 13-of-20 from the floor.
