Basketball – The Atlanta Hawks lose again in the NBA Playoff Round of 16, trailing 2-0 in the best-of-7 series. Qualifier winner Miami Heat wins 115-105.
The stats don’t suggest the Hawks are catching up. A team that leads 2-0 wins an NBA best-of-7 series 92.4 percent of the time. The Hawks have been 2-0 down in a series 25 times – losing 25 times.
Switzerland’s Clint Capela was out with a sprained right knee. He may be able to play in the Hawks’ two home games this weekend.
Atlanta kept the game balanced until halftime. It wasn’t until the third quarter that Miami created the difference. Jimmy Butler stood out from their ranks with 45 points.
