Miami Heat: Atlanta Hawks And Cavaliers Final Two Round 1 Contestants
In the last month of the season though and with the Hawks actually being the last real game of the season for Miami, as they would sit most of their regular guys in Victor Oladipo‘s private Orlando showcase on the final night of the regular year for them, Miami would beat Atlanta in a great win to close the year.
That’s because that game was a comeback victory over the same Hawks that dismantled the Charlotte Hornets late in their play-in game.
And by dismantle, you mean to a final tally of 132-103.
The Miami Heat beat the Cleveland Cavaliers back in March after losing their previous several matchups to the young team, so there’s also that. As far as the matchup between Atlanta and Cleveland though, it should be an interesting one.
If you take them both at face value, you are looking at the complete opposite versions of one another. You have an, almost, complete dichotomy on either side of it.
