Edy Tavares and Lamar Patterson were again impressive in their second game with the Austin Spurs as part of a NBA Development League assignment Saturday. The two second-round picks will be recalled by the Hawks Sunday and rejoin the team for a home game against the Jazz after a two-game stint.

Both started and scored in double figures in the Austin Spurs’ 110-104 win at the Oklahoma City Blue. Tavares finished with 18 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks in 28 minutes. The 7-foot-3 center was 7 of 10 from the field. He had nine offensive and eight defensive rebounds. Patterson finished with 19 points, seven assists and six rebounds in 35 minutes. The guard/forward was 6 of 14 from the field, including 2 of 4 from 3-point range.
