Stats & Highlights | The Heat reassures, the Hawks worry
March 16, 2024
And if finally the Nets had not said their last word in the race for the “play-in”… It is possible since the Hawks suffered a third defeat in a row last night, and after losing in Portland, the Dejointe Murray's teammates get tripped up in Utah, where Quin Snyder returned for the first time.
While the Hawks were trailing for a large part of the match, it was Dejounte Murray who brought his team back to two points (124-122) with 80 seconds remaining. The Jazz thwarts, but the Hawks will miss three match points! Two from Dejounte Murray, and one from Vit Krejci, after a lost ball from Jazz. Ultimately, the final score will be 124-122, and Utah can thank Collin Sexton (21 points) and the amazing sophomore Johnny Juzang (19 points) for holding on in the last quarter.
After four defeats in a row, the Heat took advantage of the trip to Detroit to revive with a convincing second half (108-95). Facing Evan Fournier's teammates (12 points), looking for a third victory in a row, it was Bam Adebayo who pulled out all the stops with 22 points and 9 rebounds in 28 minutes. It was upon returning from the locker room that the Heat took the break, taking advantage of the Pistons' lost balls. Duncan Robinson makes three 3-point baskets, and the gap increases to +18 (83-65). Erik Spoelstra can then afford to leave Bam Adebayo on the bench in the 4th quarter. Perhaps in anticipation of the revenge, scheduled for this Sunday, still in Detroit.
Finally, a heavy and moving atmosphere in Toronto with a minute of silence in tribute to Nathan Barrett, RJ's little brother, who died this week. Very diminished, the Raptors cracked over time after dominating the first half. It's Paolo Banchero who leads the charge with seven points in a row, and his teammates follow him to sign a fatal 14-0 to the Raptors. Trailing by three points, the Magic turned the tide of the match to lead by 11 points (84-73). At the start of the 4th quarter, Jonathan Isaac dominated in the paint, and the Raptors cracked (91-73) to finally lose 113-103 at home.
