The Atlanta Hawks Hosted Tinder-Themed "Swipe Right Night" [PHOTOS] This Is What Happens When An NBA Team Plays Matchmaker To Fans!

The Atlanta Hawks know that having mutual interests with a mate is something we all want out of the dating game. So this week, the NBA team hosted "Swipe Right Night" for the Jan 7, 2015, game against the Memphis Grizzlies, partnering with the popular dating (hook-up) app Tinder. Fans of the team came to the game and got the chance to hone in on Hawks fans that are looking to date! In other words, the Hawks played matchmaker to all of their fans this week, and thanks to Twitter, we can show you how it turned out!

We should also mention that the Hawks defeated the Grizzlies 96 to 86, and have a 2.5 game lead in the East as a result ... but Tinder is probably a little more exciting! (Just kidding, you guys!)

Also part of the Tinder-themed night was a change to security officials' wardrobe. Check out the shirts that security wore last night right here:

Pretty great, right? Now check out some Twitter photos and posts that sum up the "Swipe Right Night" event pretty well:
