Hawks Collapse in Grizzlies Rout | Memphis Grizzlies News

The Summer League Hawks’ playoff hopes hung in the balance as they faced a full-strength Memphis Grizzlies squad on Thursday — a game they needed to win to lock in their spot. Coming in undefeated but missing key players like Kingston Flemings, Zuby Ejiofor, and Asa Newell, the Hawks started disastrously, trailing 32-2 after missing their first six shots and coughing up eight turnovers. Though they showed flashes of life — especially defensively and with Kobe Johnson harassing top draft pick Cameron Boozer — they couldn’t overcome the Grizzlies’ relentless offense. Down 76-42 by the fourth quarter, the Hawks’ goal shifted to keeping the deficit under 16, but it was too late. Isaiah Wong led the charge with 20 points, but the Hawks’ season ends with a consolation game on Saturday. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
