In a game that felt more like a Hollywood spectacle than basketball, the Atlanta Hawks found themselves in the thick of one very outlandish decision and one courageous comeback. They are now pushed to the brink of elimination.
Despite a furious rally that garnered the respect of the basketball world, the Hawks stolen opportunity fell just a basket short in overtime, 114 to 111.
LeBron James started out the night 0-10 from the field before taking matters into his own hands in the second half. He finished with his 12th career postseason triple-double, going for 37 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists.
