NBA PLAYOFFS 1ST ROUND GAME 2 PREVIEW: Heat look to take 2-0 series lead over Hawks

The Miami Heat get set to host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at 7:30pm at the FTX Arena for Game 2 of their first round series of the 2022 NBA Playoffs.

An all-around dominant team performance propelled the No. 1 team in the East to a blowout victory in Game 1 on Sunday in which Trae Young struggled mightily and his teammates couldn’t do much to either help shoulder the scoring load or limit the Heat’s shooters from putting their stamp on the game. Duncan Robinson had his best game of the season at a very opportune time, going 9-10 overall and 8-9 from beyond the arc to finish with 27 points, while PJ Tucker enjoyed his best performance in a long time with 16 points — with the forward able to not just hit much-needed 3-pointers but also some nifty floaters that blunted the presence of Atlanta’s big men in the paint.
