On January 15, Beijing time, the Heat defeated the Hawks 124-118 to win four consecutive wins. The game was very sticky, the Heat led by 10 points in the first quarter, the Hawks overtook 6 points in the second quarter (40-24 in the single quarter), the Hawks also led by 5 points after the third quarter, the Heat played a 30-19 climax to win in the final quarter, the Hawks entered the final 2 minutes and 10 seconds and began to get into trouble, Trae Young's two turnovers + Hurth's 1 turnover became the key to the loss.
2 minutes and 10 seconds before the final, Trae Young broke through to create Martin foul two free throws, the Eagles achieved a rebound, but 1 minute 24 seconds before the end of the game Trre Young mistakes Heat fast attack Hult can only foul Tucker two free shots, and then in the final 1 minute 01 seconds Trae Young again made a mistake The Heat continued to quickly attack Hult foul Hero two free throws, these 4 points after the Eagles have fallen behind by 2 points, it can be said that the morale of the whole team has been greatly affected.

It has to be said that the Eagles' decline began with two mistakes by Trae Young, who is the sinner of this campaign, and he should bear the blame for the team's defeat.
Trae Young played 35 minutes, 7 of 13, 3 of 7 from three-point range, 7 of 7 from the free throw line, 24 points, 9 assists and 3 rebounds, shooting 53.8% from the field and 42.9% from three-point range, which was not bad from the data point of view, but 0+ two fatal turnovers in the last quarter 2. His ability to play key moments has been hugely different from last season. Many of the games this season have been perfectly data-perfect but lost.
After this campaign, the Hawks swallowed a four-game losing streak of 17 wins and 24 losses to the fourth-to-last in the East, and they are 4.5 wins away from the eighth-place Wizards in the East. This may also be the reason why Reddish applied for a trade, Reddish did not get a lot of room for development in this team, and the team may not be able to play in the playoffs this season.
According to NBA reporter Mark Stein, the Lone Ranger wants to chase John Collins and Miles Turner, and many teams are interested in Turner, and Collins is dissatisfied with the current situation in the Hawks. Collins previously said in the interview that "it is very discussed to run back and forth, and he hopes to take on more offensive responsibilities", it seems that he is already dissatisfied with Trae Young's big package of playing, and this Eagles is also time for the trade to change.
