Not having Clint is really hurting

15 AST for ATL - 35 AST for MIA, yes 35!

And I still can't watch one good game live. Only watched CHA and CLE in replay, but decided to watch this one live as it was only the 1st game of the series, won't do it again

Miami Heat staying wary of Trae Young despite stifling Atlanta Hawks in Game 1

The Heat's defense might have suffocated Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young all game in Sunday's 115-91 Game 1 win of their first-round series, but the East's No. 1 seed knows it can't expect Young and the eighth-seeded Hawks to go quietly.

Young acknowledged the fatigue that that schedule caused, but admitted that Miami's defense played a factor in tying his own low-water mark for the second-most 3-pointers he has attempted in a game without a make.

"You definitely feel the heavy legs, but you have to give them credit," Young said. "They came out aggressive, they came out with a lot of energy."

Which is precisely the approach the Heat are expecting from Young in a bounce-back effort.

"You better be on edge," said Spoelstra. "You have to be on edge. That team can really score in bunches. Obviously Trae Young can just ignite at any point. So if you relax at any point, all of the sudden he hits a couple, that can turn into a lot more. You have to respect that."

"Listen, he's going to make more than one shot," said Kyle Lowry who had 10 points and nine assists. "He's going to have more than four assists. He's going to explode. But we just got to stay patient and stick with what we do."
