FT MIA 124 ATL 118

Terrible play at the end by the "Hawks." Trae Young gave them a 118-116 lead on two free throws with 2:10 left. At 1:24 Young committed his first turnover, Huerter fouled PJ and he made both to tie it. At 1:01 Young committed his second t.o., Huerter again fouled, at :46, this time Tyler, who made both to give the "Heat" the lead. ATL then called a full T.O. and right out of the timeout Huerter committed a turnover! Jimmy made a layup off that one and the "Heat" led 122-118 with 22.3 left. Another "Hawks" timeout. At least they got a shot off this time but Danilo Galinari missed his trey. PJ snared the rebound, John Collins fouled him and PJ's final two FT's account for the final margin. ATL didn't score in the last 2:10 of the game but did commit three turnovers. My goodness, that's punch-the-wall frustrating.
