Heat interior big player Adebayo
Adebayor, who played an all-around performance, limited his opponent's final blow in the decisive moment, helping the Heat to the end of the laugh while rejecting a 15-point reversal. Adebayo's successful defense at key moments allowed him to play a big role in the Heat's final victory.
Trae Young is sluggish
Hawks star Trae Young played 41 minutes, shooting 2-of-12, 0-of-5 from three-point range, 7-of-9 from the free throw line, 11 points, 8 boards and 6 assists, and a game-high six turnovers. Trae Young played the first quarter, shooting 1-of-6, 3-of-3 from three-point range, and 2-of-2 from the free throw line, with just four points, two rebounds and one assist. In the first half, Trae Young played 21 minutes, shooting 1 of 7, 0 of 4 from three points, 3 of 4 from the free throw line, and had only 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and 2 turnovers.
Trae Young's performance was sluggish
Trae Young only shot 17 percent of the game, and the three-point shot was grainy. Facing the Heat's high-pressure defense, Trae Young was completely out of form on the offensive end, frequently playing iron. Trae Young scored just six points in the second half, and his slump was the main reason for the Hawks' failure to win. Trae Young still needs to continue to prove himself in the playoffs.
Hunter 35+11 tried his best
The Hawks played 43 minutes, shooting 11-of-21 from the field, 3-of-7 from three-point range and 10-of-11 from the free throw line, with a double-double of 35 points, 11 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals. Hunter scored the highest score of the game with a 52% shooting percentage. Hunter, who won the rebounding king, is also the steal king of the game. Hunter struggled to lead the team to chase points, and at one point helped the Hawks see the dawn of a reversal. However, Hunter fought until 6 fouls left the field in the last minute, and failed to lead the team to stage a good reversal. Hunter has tried his best, but it can be said that he has lost.
