Atlanta Hawks Preview

Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat - Game One

The Atlanta Hawks made another late-season push to get into the playoffs. This time, though, they face a much stiffer test in the form of the Miami Heat as their first round opponents. Although the Hawks faced a blowout loss in the first game, they are expected to come back strongly in Game 2.

They are a team that thrives at the offensive end, but if they are to do well in the playoffs, the Hawks will have to play some good defense.

Heat players like Duncan Robinson, Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler were absolutely stellar at the offensive end in Game 1. Coach Nate McMillan will have to plot a plan to contain them if the Hawks are to put in a competitive performance in the series.

Having done well in the playoffs last season, the Hawks would not want to make an early exit this time around. Even though the Heat are a strong side, the Hawks have shown their resilience.

Miami Heat Preview

Atlanta Hawks vs Miami Heat - Game One

The Miami Heat ended their stellar 2021-22 campaign as the top-seeded team in the Eastern Conference.

Many have picked them as the favorites to come out of the East, and their performance in Game 1 was impressive. They will look to continue putting up such performances as they seek a deep playoff run.

They have players like Jimmy Butler, PJ Tucker, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry who are not only assets at the offensive end but can also get the job done at the defensive end.

Duncan Robinson put in a shooting clinic in the first game, and the Heat have more such players who can do the same.
