Surprised but pleased. 🙂 only 1 game though so I’m not gonna get too excited yet. Trae Young though. What a lad.

Commentator: Great hussle with a clean rejection hahah lol

[stefanosavraamides]

As a Knicks fan, what I want to say is that my team did struggle in the first round, but this Hawks team was playing consistently and fearlessly as well. So be careful Sixers

[bernadetteramos]

Atlanta Hawks a really good offensive team.. they have it inside and outside.. plenty of shooters and scorers inside the paint.. they dominated the Sixers home floor.. wow!

[Mittke]

Lol at the absolutely clean rejection.

[UricEric]

That 6 point swing by Philly in the last seconds should've been highlighted here. Thats a heart stopper deym😳

[suspiciousafternoon]

man this game was so wild at the end . the Bogdanovic shush 😂😂😂 that was cold

[AmirA-qojv]

Man I thought embid is not gonna play and hawks will win and even tho he played hawks still won

[keiths.heather]

I'm not surprise. I think the Hawks can beat any team this year. Now Hawks and the Nets moving forward to meet each other and if the Hawks can pass the Nets they should take the championship as well. I believe in them !

[esperidionfabile]

After this round joel will cry again deja vu 🙂

[RaynerMandi]

Trea young took it personal every game .

[kovalskibethyname]

The Hawks almost fumbled that lead at the end.

[INKI_teh_Rogue]

Just thinking back to Shaq and the access crew saying the Hawks had no chance while embiid was playing... Gotta love an underdog 🦅💪

[googleusergoogleuser]

Wow！Didn't expect the Hawks being so good!

[TheoHuxtible]

The best performance by a ‘Trae’ since boyz in da hood 👈🏼

[rioabariso]

"Absolutely clean block"?! I only saw that Ben got the hand of the other player from the Hawks, but surely no ball!
