Atlanta Hawks will battle it out with a high-flying Oklahoma City Thunder side in the
National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 1 March.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 145th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1967 when the Thunder were established.
The Hawks and the Thunder are locked at 72 wins each having met 144 times.
Most recent meeting
Oklahoma City Thunder defeated Atlanta, 128-104 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 28 October.
As a result, the Thunder improved to 3-0 on the season, while the Hawks fell to 2-1.
Key Players
Hawks point guard Trae Young impressively finished with 24 points and eight assists for Atlanta in the losing effort against the Thunder, and could be the player to propel his side to win over the Oklahoma side.
For the Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with 35 points (three 3PM), 11 rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and three blocks, and he will be determined to replicate the same form against the Hawks.
Quotes
"I thought we had a very mature game offensively. They played damn near 40 minutes of zone, which is great for us. Obviously, that's something teams go to in general but certainly against us," Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said after his side's win over Utah Jazz on 22 February.
"We see top five amount of zone in the league almost every year. To be able to have 90-100 possessions tonight where we had to attack it. Some things we can learn from, some really good attacks obviously, was a really good experience for us. I thought we handled it well."
