The Hawks began thier first round of the NBA playoffs with an absolute demoliton of the Heat. With several other teams aready letting thier home court advantage slip away, the Hawks refused to be upset beating the 5th seeeded Heat by a 24 margin. Miami PG Wade had some impressive scoring drives but for the most part he was kept in check by the likes of Josh Smith and Al Horford.
The Hawks would end up tieing a franchise record for fewest points allowed in a playoff game. Likewise it was the fewest points a normally high offense minded Miami had scored all season. Josh Smith led the Hawks in scoring (28) while all other Atlanta starters ended in double figures.
Game 2 will be back at Phillips Arena Wedsday night at 7:00.
