John Collins and the moment the Atlanta Hawks earned 19 national TV games this season

The Atlanta Hawks did it again.

On June 23, the Hawks won a third-straight Game 1 in the 2021 NBA Playoffs, this time a 116-113 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals. After a 23-point, 15-rebound performance, Hawks forward John Collins earned himself a postgame interview with the Inside the NBA crew.

The Pro Basketball Hall of Fame cast marveled over Collins and the Hawks’ Game 1 highlights, specifically an off-the-backboard dunk from Collins off a Trae Young lob, and Young’s shimmy before draining a three-pointer on the way to his playoff career high of 48 points.
