The Atlanta Hawks were back in action on Friday night with a road matchup vs. the Miami Heat. The Hawks sorely needed a win as the Play-In standings in the Eastern Conference are still up in the air on the final weekend of the regular season. Atlanta was unable to get the win Friday in South Beach, falling by a score of 113-109 in a hard-fought loss.
The Hawks and Heat both got out to a bit of a slow start in the first quarter, with Miami holding a 24-22 lead heading into the second quarter. Clint Capela led the Hawks with eight points and five rebounds in the opening period.
