Atlanta retakes the home court advantage after the big win over Miami on Monday. Zaza Pachulia gave big boost from the bench, with 18 rebounds and 12 points, while 6 players had double digit of points. The score balance and the defensive effort and function, is the strong part of the Hawks all over the year. Mike Bibby is very experienced in the playoffs situation, along to Joe Johnson. Also Josh Smith shows some improvement and stability in high level games.
Miami is the team of Wade. The superstar is able to score over 50 points by himself, but the other Heat players are too young and inexperienced. Mario Chalmers (the starting point guard) and Michael Beasley, are rookies. Dequan Cook is on his second year and only Haslem, O’Neil and Jones, are veterans. Of course Wade can makes things happens, but against a solid team like Atlanta, he need help. Yesterday missed the practice due back spasms, but he will play for sure.
Tonight maybe play again Marvin Williams. The Hawks forward suffers from a wrist injury and he will decide in pregame warm up. He missed game 4 and the win in Miami.
