Differences between game 3 (Saturday at State Farm Arena) and game 4 (Monday at Toyota Center) was night and day... until the 4th Quarter that is.

Houston's surge stemmed from Atlanta's defensive breakdowns resulting in transition offense due to interior clutter and stagnant offense.

DeShaun Tate & Tenitra Batiste fire off on the results of Monday's contest including how the Rockets took a page out of the Hawks' book, admiring ATL's efforts after the weekend's lopsided results, whom the offense should have run through to start the game and positive signs from the bench.

On Wednesday, the winless Miami Heat looked like the unbeaten Miami Heat en route to its first win of the season over Southeast Division rival Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena who suffered its first back-to-back home loss of the season on its first game of a back-to-back to resume on Thursday versus Cleveland.

Reminiscent of the Houston Rockets series earlier this week, ATL managed to start slow, struggle with MIA's size on the interior and failed to match the intensity/energy. Through it all, leading the way to its second half surge was rookie, Kingston Flemings.

Between matchups versus Jabari Smith & Alperen Sengun and Bam Adebayo & Giannis Antetokounmpo, what are your realistic expectations and necessary adjustments versus Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and the Cleveland Cavaliers?

Was Jalen Johnson's assignment to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo the right decision?

Should the emergence and standout performance of rookie, Kingston Flemings change anything as it relates to time shared within the rotation?

Efforting to climb out of the loss column after 3 consecutive games, the Atlanta Hawks bounce back with a much-needed victory at home on Thursday at State Farm Arena.

A humbling of the Eastern Conference runner-ups, Cleveland Cavaliers behind one of the biggest talking points of the Hawks' success this season... Onyeka Okongwu and the Center position.

What adjustments did ATL make to overcome their size disadvantage and somehow not only outrebound Cleveland but to also outscore in the paint?

The bench has been a thorn in the side of many opposing teams over the past several years despite rotating the roster's construction, are they not given enough credit?

How concerning are the slow starts?
