Atlanta Hawks vs San Antonio Spurs Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 8, 2026

Asa Newell's 16 points paced a second-quarter explosion that proved decisive in Atlanta's 123–116 road victory over San Antonio, with the Hawks' offensive burst lifting the combined total well past the market projection. After a relatively quiet opening quarter that saw 59 combined points, the game shifted dramatically in the second frame, where Atlanta and San Antonio combined for 72 points—the game's highest-scoring quarter. The Hawks outscored the Spurs 42–30 in that stretch, with K. Flemings adding 15 points and 5 assists and CJ McCollum contributing 14 points and 4 assists to fuel the run. That 12-point edge in Q2 essentially decided the outcome.

The second half told a different story. Combined scoring dropped to 108 points across the final two quarters, with the third quarter yielding just 57 combined points and the fourth slowing further to 51. San Antonio's Dylan Harper (16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists), Stephon Castle (14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists), and David Jones Garcia (14 points, 4 rebounds) kept the home team competitive, but couldn't overcome Atlanta's early surge. The Hawks' strong recent scoring (108.2 per game over their last 10) showed up when it mattered most, while San Antonio's porous recent defense (120.6 allowed per game) was exposed in the second quarter. The final combined 239 cleared the 226.5 market total by 12.5 points, with DAGGER leaning over and cashing the bet.
