On Tuesday we told you about a promotion by the Atlanta Hawks for fans attending Wednesday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies called “Swipe Right Night”, a Tinder-themed event designed to, well, find you a date, perhaps? The details were a bit sketchy and nobody really knew what to expect. On Wednesday night, we finally found out. Sorta.
First the guys were treated to these roses that were neatly stacked on this table covered in white linen.

From there, tinder users were encouraged to “swipe right” to find a date. Designated areas were set up throughout Philips Arena where people could then meet. The twitter hashtag #SwipeRightNight began updating with some success stories.

Oh to be young and single.
This may be less important, but the Hawks won their game over the Grizzlies 96-86 and now own a 2.5 game lead in the East.
