POSTCAST: Miami Heat Freezer-Burns Atlanta Hawks In 2OT Thriller, 117-111

Double overtime.

Triple-double.

Double trouble.

The Atlanta Hawks’ playoff hot seat continues to ‘heat’ up after Tuesday evening’s disappointing double-overtime loss to divisional rival and team with the Southeast Division’s best record, Miami Heat. Dejounte Murray’s 29-point triple-double wasn’t quite enough to put out Miami’s flame led by Tyler Herro (33 points) and Jimmy Butler (25 points).

Unfortunately for Atlanta, the first quarter replicated the last quarter of the game, ultimately resulting in

How much did poor shot selection, homerun plays, a sped-up pace and a plethora of missed opportunities on key possessions factor into ATL’s downfall.

Jalen Johnson got hit by the injury bug yet again with an apparent right ankle sprain in the 3rd quarter and would never return which begs the question, when/if/with a healthy status to give it a go for the remainder of the regular season, should JJ play on a minutes restriction if at all for meaningful games?
