The Atlanta Hawks were in Miami to take on the Heat in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs. It took two win-or-go-home games for the Hawks to get this point, as they’ve reached the postseason for two straight years. For the Heat, they’ve had a week of rest as they waited through the week to see who they would play.
Unfortunately for the Hawks, they’ll be without Clint Capela for some time, but some refreshing news is that John Collins was back, as he missed more than a handful of games to end the season.
With the Hawks having a quick turnaround and the Heat being out of play for a week, that made for a rusty offensive performance from both teams to start the game.
