The first night of the play-in tournament made for a fun viewing experience. The Atlanta Hawks surprisingly were the much tougher team against the Miami Heat, securing a whopping 22 offensive rebounds on their way to a 116-105 victory on the road. The Hawks will now play Boston in the first round of their playoffs. Hopefully, Trae Young can get hot and steal a game or two. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers avoided embarrassment, coming back from a 15-point deficit to secure a 108-102 overtime win over Minnesota. The Lakers will head to Memphis for the first round. The losers of those two games will have one more chance against the winners of tonight’s contest, so let’s get to those.
