    Larry Drew didn't play, but he left the FedExForum with a game ball anyway.

    Drew received the honor after winning his first game as Hawks coach, a 119-104 road victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in both teams' season openers. Drew watched Joe Johnson lead the Hawks with 22 points and Zaza Pachulia provide a spark off the bench with 17 points and 11 rebounds.

    Drew, who replaced Mike Woodson in the offseason, had a big smile on his face when talking about the game ball.

    "It's huge. I've been thinking about this for a long time," Drew said. "This is my first win. I've got to enjoy it."
