Spurs get revenge for past loss, fend off Hawks 117-122.

It took all four quarters to down a tenacious road effort by Atlanta, who erased an 18-PT lead by San Antonio. The Spurs were up 39-25 after quarter one, but lost the 3rd Quarter, 33-23, finding themselves in a fight. They did just enough to win the 4th, 34-32, aided by John Collins fouling out early and an off shooting display by Trae Young (2-7 3PT, 21 points, 9 assists).

Nearly snapping the 17-game win streak for the Spurs, the Hawks gave quite a push late. Bogdanovic had 17 points, with Gallinari contributing 14 points. Kevin Huerter had 13 points, with Onyeka Okongwu (the #6th pick) scoring 13 as well. De'Andre Hunter hit a would-be dagger in the final minute like his NCAA title-game winner in 2019, but Dejounte Murray answered at the basket with a tough layup over the defense.

In front of their fans, both Ingram & Murray received M-V-P chants. Ingram had 35 points & 7 rebounds. Murray scored 27 points with 8 assists & 2 steals. Fred VanVleet had 23 points. Andre Drummond powered home a 15-point, 15-rebound performance with 2 blocks & 3 steals.
