How Miami Heat’s Twitter Reacted to the Win Against the Atlanta Hawks Sunday Night

The Miami Heat defeated the Atlanta Hawks 106-98 Sunday night. The Hawks were projected to avenge their playoff losses to Miami but fell short once again.

Despite 22 points and 14 assists, Hawks star Trae Young continued to struggle against the Heat. Most of his points came from the free-throw line, as he shot 25 percent from the field and 12 percent from three-point range.

Trae Young's last six games vs. Heat, including playoffs: 26 for 85 (30.6%)

More turnovers (34) than field goals (26) in that span.

3-pointers in that span: 8 for 46 (17.4%).

He's shot over .500 in 2 of his 19 career games vs. the Heat.

Bam Adebayo fueled his All-Star campaign with another high-scoring game. Adebayo had 32 points shooting 13 of 20 from the field. He scored 16 of Miami’s 34 third-quarter points, an area they’ve struggled this season. Fans were ecstatic to see Adebayo’s performance on Friday wasn’t a fluke.
