The Heat beat the Hawks 115-105 to give a 2-0 lead in the first round of the series, and with a 2-0 lead in the big game, the team had a 92.6% chance of advancing, and the Hawks were already on the line. The Heat led by 11 points in the third quarter of the game, and the final quarter stretched to 16 points, but Eagles star Bogdanovic stepped forward to help the Eagles narrow the point difference to 3 points, but unfortunately TraeJan pulled his crotch, and the team's defense was sparse and led to a reversal failure.
It was indeed Jimmy Butler's night, 39 minutes in the game, 15-of-25, 4-of-7 three-pointers, 11-of-12 free throws, 45 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, shooting 60% from the field, setting multiple records in a game, and 45 points was a new playoff career high, but Pogdan is definitely worthy of respect.
In the 182 seconds from 8 minutes and 04 seconds before the final to 5 minutes and 58 seconds before the final, Pogdan helped the Hawks return the game to a state of balance, and in these 182 seconds he scored 10 points on three-pointers + 2 two-pointers to help the Eagles narrow the gap to 4 points, and 3 minutes and 15 seconds before the final game, he hit a key three-pointer that narrowed the point difference to 3 points.
2:35 ahead of the finale, the Hawks held a chance to chase a point or equalize, and the poor-feeld Trae Young did not give Pogdan but chose to shoot himself, resulting in iron, the Hawks counterattacked Butler and easily scored two points.
Pogdan earned respect for his respect by 8-of-12 in the final quarter and 3-of-6 from three-point range in a single quarter with 19 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 0 turnovers in a single quarter without free throws. In the 28 minutes of the game, he shot 12 of 18 and scored 29 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 5 of 10 three-point range, shooting 66.6% from the field and 50% from three-point range.
Trae Young scored 10-of-20 in the game, 2 of 10 three-pointers, 25 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and 10 turnovers, and scored 3 points and 1 turnover on 1-of-5 in the final quarter.
Atlanta's recollection said: Pogdan was a big heart player, and Stephen A-Smith's words slamming him were speechless, how much he wished he were staying with the Bucks.
The US media also posted Pogdan's data for this game, scoring 29 points in 28 minutes and 19 points in the final quarter, and although the Hawks lost, he deserved respect.
