The Miami Heat earned a big 110-86 win over the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta. After dropping a heart-breaker in game three the Heat came into game four focused and executed their game plan. The Heat’s defense was smothering and they were able to hold Hawks’ Superstar Trae Young in check. The Heat held Trae Young to just nine points on the night. Young spoke postgame regarding what the Heat were able to do to slow him down.

“They’re doing a great job of showing help and not letting me get to the paint,” Young said. “You’ve got to give them credit. We’ve got to do a better job of figuring out how to get open looks so I can create for my teammates and myself, too.”
