Hawks top Heat in NBA play-in game, lock up 7-seed in east

MIAMI -- Quin Snyder's bags were packed in February for an overseas trip. He was going to spend time with some friends and family, see some coaches he's gotten to know over the years.

Then the Atlanta Hawks called with a job offer, to bring him on as coach.

And now Snyder's bags are packed again - for the playoffs, starting with a trip to Boston.

Trae Young scored 25 points, Clint Capela grabbed 21 rebounds and the Hawks earned the No. 7 in the Eastern Conference playoffs by beating the Miami Heat 116-105 in a play-in tournament game Tuesday night.
