Miami Heat at Atlanta Hawks Gameday Scouting Report

We used to dream of moments like this. Tonight, the Hawks host the Warmth in entrance of a sellout crowd with a chance to tie the collection 2-2. After months of complacency, the Hawks can now flip the collection on its head and shake up the basketball world. Moreover the 2 Play-In video games, that is crucial contest of the season.

Friday night time’s comeback victory can be a part of latest Hawks lore (Sport 7 Kevin, Trae bowing in Madison Sq. Backyard, and many others.) if this group can construct off the momentum. Though the Hawks play properly at residence, profitable 21 of their final 24 video games, defeating a dynamic group just like the Warmth is rarely simple.

Successful Sport 4 will come all the way down to – you guessed it – protection. The Hawks have been unable to decelerate the Warmth’s perimeter assault. Duncan Robinson, Jimmy Butler, and Tyler Herro gave the Hawks matches by three video games. 

Nevertheless, with Clint Capela probably returning (extra on that beneath), the Hawks can regain their edge on the boards and reinforce their protection which has been held collectively by tape and gum. Couple that with the All-Star level guard Trae Younger turning into extra acclimated with the defensive schemes he is going through, and the Hawks have an actual shot at profitable a significant sport – a situation they’ve wished for all season.
