Heat survived Hawks to win 115- 91

Miami Heat, which is the No. 1 seed in the East, made just 18 of its 38 3-point shots, with Robinson hitting on eight of his nine endeavors and going 9/10 generally from the field. P.J. Exhaust, who had 16 points, was 4/4 on 3s. Off the seat, Duncan Robinson hit 27 points and Jimmy Butler counted 21 points as host Miami opened its Eastern Conference first-round season finisher series by cavorting past Atlanta.

Heat managed to hold off Hawks scoring pioneer Trae Young who frustratingly ended the night with eight points and did not play the first quarter, shooting 1-for-12 from the field and went zero for seven on his 3-point endeavors with serious six turnovers the No. 8 seed Atlanta had a hard time taking control of the match.
