Hawks hang with Heat but succumb late, 115-105

The Atlanta Hawks were at the wrong end of a beat down on Sunday afternoon at the hands of the Miami Heat in a first round playoff matchup. They looked to come out Tuesday night and reverse fortunes, and began by inserting John Collins back into the starting lineup for the first time in a month and a half.

Kevin Huerter got the scoring started for the Hawks, with this nice triple created by a Collins flair screen.

A Miami 10-0 run, however, quickly put the Hawks behind the 8-ball yet again. After starting 1-for-11 (9%) in Game 1, a 2-for-9 (22%) start from the offense began to feel like deja vu.
