The Miami Heat will host the Atlanta Hawks at FTX Arena on Tuesday night with a chance to end the series at home. The Hawks have won just one of four games so far, when Trae Young made the go-ahead shot with five seconds left on the clock in Game 3.
Every player on the Heat’s roster scored in Game 4, and Jimmy Butler led the effort with 36 points. He added to his contribution with ten rebounds, four assists and four steals in the 110-86 win over Atlanta.
Trae Young was limited to nine points in the loss, with only three players scoring in double-digits for Atlanta. After the game, Young even admitted to not being guarded this tight consistently since high school.
The Hawks can expect similar defensive intensity in Game 5, as the Heat will try to finish the series with a win at home. The winner of the series will go on to face either the Philadelphia 76ers or the Toronto Raptors, with the latter putting in a fight.
