Duncan Robinson played the role of a bench three-pointer in the first game of the first round of the playoffs, helping the team to usher in a good start. The team's stunning performance of 18 three-pointers in a single game is indeed enough to make the Eagles overwhelmed. However, Trae Young did not play a big role in that game, only 8 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. We definitely have reason to believe that once Trae Young is aggressive on the offensive end, it's definitely not as easy as it seems for the Heat to want to move on to the next city.
At the beginning of the game, Trae Young reversed his previous sense of decadence and gave 10 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter, while Hunter also contributed 9 points and 2 rebounds. However, in the situation of successive players on the team, the Eagles still failed to achieve the feat of domination, but let the Heat, which played everywhere, successfully scored a 1-point lead with a score of 26-25. Entering the second quarter of the showdown, although the Eagles, who were in a state of backwardness, could continue to threaten, they still failed to take the initiative to take the lead.
Trae Young, who had contributed double-digit points in the first quarter, continued to threaten, shooting 4 from 5 in a single quarter and sending 8 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. The Heat's home-based star Butler was in hot form, shooting 3-of-6 in a single quarter, and there were 5-of-5 free throw scoring methods, while delivering the key 12 points, The Trend helped the team play a 30-29 score and get a 1-point lead. At the end of the first half of the game, the Heat led the Hawks by two points. I have to admit that the point difference between the two teams is not very large, and the Eagles obviously have a good chance to achieve a reversal.
However, after the Easy Side fought again, the Heat did not give the Eagles a chance to fight back. Butler continued to threaten in the third quarter, playing 12 minutes of game time, with an efficient shooting rate of 6 shots and 5 shooting, sending 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, leading the team to another 31-22 score. By the time they reached the crucial final showdown, the point difference between the two sides had widened to 11 points! The Hawks' attempt to achieve a comeback in the final quarter didn't seem as easy as they thought.
In the fourth quarter of the tiebreaker, the Heat clenched the lead and did not give the Eagles the slightest chance to counterattack. In the end, the regular time of the fourth quarter was over, and the Heat only let the opponent play a 29-28 score, recovering the previous one point behind, and winning the game with a score of 115-105. Leading 2-0 in the first round of the playoff series further improved their chances of advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Butler played the style of a tough guy in the league in this game, and in the 39 minutes of playing, he shot a high of 45 points from 25 shots, as well as a comprehensive number of 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
With this luxurious statistic, Butler also achieved a new personal playoff scoring high, becoming the first team leader in NBA history to get at least 45+5+5 statistics with 0 turnovers and 0 fouls. In the face of Butler's explosive data, the performance of the Eagles' home star Trae Young can be described as inexhaustible: although he sent 25 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in nearly 40 minutes of playing, the poor performance of 10 mistakes in a single game is still too ugly, giving the opponent a lot of opportunities to counterattack, and the loss is deserved.
