The Hawks are losing significantly to the Miami Heat on defence. Nate McMillan’s men have never been known for their solid play under the basket. Lately, they’ve been using an attacking style of play. However, breaking down the Heat’s defensive backfield was no easy task.
Trae Young and company didn’t look their best in their last game. The Hawks’ leader scored only nine points himself. De’Andre Hunter was the Hawks’ most productive player.
In the fourth game of the series, De’Andre Hunter scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
