Hawks Host Rockets on Opening Night 2022
In this story:
Atlanta Hawks fans will be delighted to know the 2022-23 NBA season starts two days earlier than expected. Yesterday, it appeared the Hawks first game was scheduled for October 21, 2022, against the Orlando Magic.
However, today Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that the season opener will take place on October 19. The Hawks host the Houston Rockets at State Farm Arena.
This interconference matchup marks one of only two games between the Hawks and Rockets. Last year, the two teams split the season series. The first game in Atlanta was ranked as one of the top ten worst losses of the season. The second contest was the 82nd and final regular season game.
The Rockets embraced a rebuild after trading James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets in January 2021. Since that time, they have begun cultivating an exciting young squad. Hawks fans will get their first look at rookies Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason.
