Memphis held Atlanta to 2 first-quarter points in a 2026 Summer League defensive record.
The Grizzlies led the Hawks 32–2 after one quarter, producing an extraordinary opening defensive performance. Atlanta struggled to create clean looks, while Memphis maintained pressure and protected the paint. The two points were reportedly the fewest allowed in a single quarter in Summer League history.
The result was also notable because Atlanta scored only two points, tying the quarter’s defensive record with an offensive low for the Hawks. Memphis’s emphasis was especially significant in Summer League, where teams often experiment with young lineups, unfamiliar rotations and players competing for roster opportunities.
The statistic refers only to the first quarter, not the entire game. Atlanta eventually scored more as the contest continued, but the 32–2 opening remained the defining achievement. It is also easy to confuse Memphis’s 32 points with Atlanta’s 2: the question asks how many points Memphis allowed, making 2 the answer.
