The Atlanta Hawks dropped their third consecutive game as they fell to the Miami Heat, without Trae Young, on national TV on Thursday night — 106-97.
Jabari Parker led the Hawks in scoring with 23 points as they looked for guys to shoulder the scoring load in the absence of Young. DeAndre’ Bembry also enjoyed a strong game, flirting with a triple-double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight rebounds.
For the Heat, Kendrick Nunn burst for 28 points as he continues the quest to become an undrafted Rookie of the Year (he’s probably the leader in that department so far).
