The Atlanta Hawks looked like a team that had everything figured out when they defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 108-82, on Tuesday night.

One of the best plays of the game was in the third quarter when Kent Bazemore stole the ball off a bad pass from the Grizzles’ Jarell Martin. Bazemore tipped the bad pass toward Taurean Prince who took the ball down the floor for a quick dunk.

Here’s the replay:

Prince finished Tuesday’s game with 5 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, while Bazemore had 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
