Trae Young, Hawks down off-target Heat

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Trae Young posted his 34th double-double of the season and the Atlanta Hawks ended a three-game losing streak with a 98-86 win over the visiting Miami Heat on Monday night.

The Hawks have won the first two games in the four-game season series against Miami. The teams play each other again in Miami on Wednesday, when the Heat begin a four-game homestand.

Young scored 11 points — one of six Atlanta players with double figures — and had 14 assists. Onyeka Okongwu had 17 points and eight rebounds, and both Caris LeVert and Terance Mann each scored 15 off the bench. Georges Niang had 11 points, and Dyson Daniels finished with 10 points, 11 rebounds and seven steals.

Miami’s Andrew Wiggins scored 23 for his third straight 20-point game, while Bam Adebayo and Kyle Anderson both scored 14. Rookie Kel’el Ware matched his career high with 15 rebounds.

The Heat struggled from outside, making only 7 of 40 3-point tries (17.5 percent). Tyler Herro scored 11 points and was a team-worst 0-for-9 from beyond the arc.

Both the Heat and Hawks, playing the second half of a back-to-back, got off to sluggish starts. Atlanta led 50-42 at halftime, outscoring the Heat 14-7 over the last 3:13. Miami shot just 29.8 percent (14-of-47) in the first half and made only 3 of 23 3-point shots (13 percent).

The Hawks led by 13 at 6:26 in the third quarter, but Miami had a 10-0 run that reduced the deficit to 66-63 at 2:51 on an alley-oop dunk by Ware. The Hawks responded with a 7-2 run and led 73-65 going into the fourth quarter.

The Heat cut the lead to 90-84 on a bucket by Adebayo with 3:52 left in regulation and appeared ready to get closer when Young was called for a foul with 3:25 on the clock. But the Hawks challenged the play and the call was reversed. Mann followed with a 3-pointer and the Heat never got closer than seven.

The Heat announced that sixth man Nikola Jovic would miss extended time with a right hand fracture he suffered on Sunday against Milwaukee.
