Miami Heat is set to take on Atlanta Hawks in NBA 2021-22 on Wednesday, 27 April 2022 at 04:30 AM IST
Although the Atlanta Hawks managed to sneak a game past the Heat in Game 3, the Miami Heat were able to correct their course with a 110-86 win in Game 4.
Having beaten the Hawks at home, the Heat are in a solid position to put an end to the series on their own home floor.
With both sides featuring major absences in their rotation, the roster strength appears to be fairly balanced.
But considering the form Miami have been in even without their key players this season, the Heat look formidable regardless.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are in a horrible position as they head into Game 5. Having suffered a blowout loss in Game 4 on their home floor, the Hawks may see their postseason dreams come to an end much sooner than expected.
The Hawks problems were completely exploited in Game 4. Featuring the sides heavy dependence on their superstar Trae Young, Atlanta struggled to get going as Young faced a nightmare offensive night.
The Hawks saw DeAndre Hunter lead the scoring effort with 24 points. However, his performance was the only positive takeaway for Atlanta in this game.
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat, on the other hand, managed to bounce back extremely well as they came off a loss in Game 3. Featuring Kyle Lowry going down with a hamstring injury, the Heat displayed their depth and their resolve as they played without their star point guard.
Miami has enjoyed seeing Jimmy Butler turn up his output in the playoffs. Recording 36 points to lead the scoring effort, the Heat also saw solid performances from Bam Adebayo and Max Strus.
