On April 2nd of 2025 the Hawks were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks 120 to 118. That's 2 pts.
In this game, Anthony Davis had 34pts 15 boards and 5 blocks. All against Trae Young.
Klay had 17pts, 5-9 from 3, all against Trae Young.
Dallas had 48pts in the paint, 20 fast break pts and hit 15 threes in the game, all against Trae Young.
Actually, that's not true. Trae didn't give up 34 pts to AD nor the 17pts to Klay.
Trae didn't give up 118pts in this game. He did give up 13pts however.
Trae had 25pts and 12 assists in the game. He generated no less than 50pts in the game. Is 13 more than 25? Is it more than 50?
The Hawks left 40 pts on the board from missed shots created by Trae in the game. Hawks lost by 2pts. 11pts were left on the board in the 4th qtr alone including a missed 3 by Vit, a missed 3 by Mo G, a missed layup by OO and a missed 3 by Levert.

Here is a shot for shot review of the game. A game where AD never got doubled, not even on the last play of the game and everyone knew who was getting the ball. Watch, and tell me who AD scored the winning basket on and explain how it was Trae Young.
At the beginning of this episode I do a breakdown of the Miami Play-in game, just the Overtime period.
