The Heat found out Friday night that they will face the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
That’s because the Hawks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 107-101 to keep their postseason dreams alive, thanks in part to a big game by Trae Young, who finished with 38 points for Atlanta.
Game 1 between the Heat and Hawks is set for Sunday at FTX Arena, with tipoff scheduled for 1 p.m.
