On April 23, Beijing time, when the Hawks still led the Heat by 7 points in the first half of the game, they suddenly lost power in the third quarter, the Hawks were once crushed by the Heat's 21-0 offensive attack, and lost 15 points in the single quarter at 16-31, and the Hawks were overtaken by the Heat at 77-85 in the first three quarters.
When the Hawks win two consecutive playoffs through the playoffs, and the Hawks have also reached the Eastern Conference Finals last season, it is natural to expect the Hawks to continue to play the role of dark horses, and even look forward to the Hawks to create the miracle of the Black Eight. However, in the first two games of the series, the Hawks lost two consecutive games and fell behind 0-2 on aggregate, and were already in a very disadvantageous situation.
In the first game back at home, the Hawks took a seven-point lead at 61-54 in the first half, but in the second half the Hawks suddenly played a power-outing section. The Hawks originally maintained a five-point lead, but the Heat then frantically played a 21-0 offensive wave, and the Hawks were crushed by the Heat for up to 5 minutes, which also allowed the Hawks to be overtaken by 16 points in an instant 68-84.
The Hawks perfectly recreate the tragedy of the previous day's Timberwolves, when they were crushed by a wave of 21-0 from the Grizzlies. Fortunately, the Hawks then played a wave of 9-1 offensive points, but the third quarter was still 16-31 lost 15 points, and the first three quarters were also trapped in the 77-85 8-point dilemma, once again sounding the alarm for the Hawks.
