The Hawks took down the Bucks 123-113 in Abu Dhabi, their first preseason action of 2022. The big story coming out of this game was the play of Dejounte Murray and Trae Young:

Murray especially stole the show with a couple of highlight plays, including a lob to John Collins and an emphatic block on Bobby Portis:

It’s only the preseason, but most of Milwaukee’s key players played over 20 minutes. The most encouraging thing was the chemistry between Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, and the rest of the Hawks. When a team makes a blockbuster deal, there can be some hiccups when it comes to chemistry. So far, it looks like the new-look Hawks are clicking on all cylinders. Murray seemed pretty pleased as well:
