On April 20, Beijing time, the first round of the NBA playoffs G2, the Miami Heat defeated the Atlanta Hawks 115-105 at home, and the total score expanded to 2-0. In this game, the Heat star Butler played well, and he scored seven consecutive points at the key moments of the fourth quarter to establish the team's victory, scoring 45 points, five rebounds and five assists.
In contrast, the Eagles' number one star, Trae Young, after experiencing a sluggish performance of only 8 points in G1, although the game had 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, but also made 10 mistakes, and ultimately failed to help the Hawks win a win on the road.
According to ESPN, after the Heat took a 2-0 lead, their prospects for promotion were bright. According to statistics, the team that led 2-0 in a seven-game best-of-three game ended up winning 92.4% of the series. The Hawks have never completed a turnaround (all 25 eliminations) behind 2-0 in the series, while the Heat have never wasted a 2-0 lead (all 17 promotions).
During the game, we can also find that the Hawks really can't beat the Heat. Facing the Heat's backcourt defenders, Trae Young played very hard. He scored just eight points in the first game and 10 turnovers in the second. The Heat, on the other hand, are more of a championship-winning team, with Butler, Adebayor and Kyle Lowry all being battle-hardened stars, while Taylor Herrow and Duncan Robinson are ready to play.
Plus, with the help of a great coach like Spollstra, it seems unlikely that the Heat will lose a 2-0 lead. If the Hawks are looking for some solace, four teams in the NBA playoffs last season bounced back 2-0, twice from the Bucks and twice from the Clippers. Does the Eagle have this strength?
