The Hawks recalled Lamar Patterson and Edy Tavares from a stint in the NBA Development League Sunday after they played a pair of games for the Austin Spurs.

Patterson had 12 points, five assists and two rebounds in 36 minutes of a 90-78 road win over Oklahoma City Saturday. Tavares had eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks in 18 minutes.

Patterson has played in seven D-League games this season, all with Austin, and averaged 15.6 points, 5.7 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes. Tavares has played in 14 D-League games, 12 with Austin and two with the Canton Charge, and averaged 10.1 points with a .685 field-goal percentage, 9.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 21.0 minutes.

Patterson and Tavares will rejoin the Hawks on the west coast for the start of a five-game road trip that begins at the Warriors Tuesday.
