De’Andre Hunter explodes for 35 points in the NBA Playoffs

In true De’Andre Hunter fashion, the former star for the Virginia Cavaliers had the biggest game of his career last night while his Atlanta Hawks were facing elimination against the Miami Heat in game five of their first round series. Hunter finished with 35 points, 11 rebounds, and three steals in 43 minutes of play on 11-21 shooting from the floor, 3-7 from beyond the three-point arc, and 10-11 from the charity stripe.

Notably, Hunter scored a whopping 18 points in the fourth quarter as he took the game over while Atlanta’s leading man Trae Young struggled to make shots.
