NBA Games last night: When training camps began in September, most teams didn’t have to advance to the play-in round as their primary objective. However, it is preferable to the alternative.

Coming to the opening game of the Play in-Tournament, the Heat hosted the Hawks, who won by a significant margin. The Atlanta Hawks completely dominated the game.

A nail-biting contest. The Lakers’ overtime victory over the Timberwolves in the second game of the night put them in a position to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the opening round of the NBA playoffs.

Without further ado, let’s move on and quickly review the highlights and results from last night’s NBA games.

NBA Games Last Night

Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks (105-116)

Tuesday night’s play-in game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Miami Heat ended in a 116-105 Atlanta Hawks victory thanks to Trae Young’s 25 points and Clint Capela’s game-high 21 rebounds. Young finished with seven assists and eight rebounds. In both rebounds (63-39) and paint points, the Hawks had significant advantages (64-46).

Reserve Kyle Lowry scored a game-high 33 points to lead Miami. Jimmy Butler scored 21 points and had a game-high nine assists in addition to Tyler Herro’s 26 points. Butler, however, shot just 6-for-19 from the field, with Capela being a major factor in several of his missed shots.

Atlanta outperformed Miami in the opening period, out shooting them 56 percent to 37.5 percent on the shooting floor. Young finished the quarter with five points and five assists, and the Hawks were in the lead 36-27.

With 6:15 left in the third quarter, a Butler layup brought Miami’s score down to 73-68. However, Atlanta came back and led 91-78 going into the fourth. With 7:42 remaining in the fourth, a 3-pointer by Lowry brought the Heat’s deficit down to 97-91. The Heat, however, was unable to draw nearer.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Minnesota Timberwolves (102-108)

In this game, the Timberwolves were shorthanded due to the absence of Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels, and Naz Reid due to injuries. The Lakers eventually secured a 108-102 overtime victory, despite the fact that it wasn’t pretty, to set up a first-round showdown with the Memphis Grizzlies that will begin on Sunday.

Davis finished with 24 points, 15 rebounds, three blocked shots, two steals, and six assists to James’ 30 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists. Off the bench, Schroder contributed 21 points and four assists.

The Lakers nearly prevailed throughout regulation. The ball bounced from James’ right hand, with 21.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the score tied. He skidded in the air as he drove baseline before launching the ball to the corner where Schroder was waiting in front of the Minnesota bench.

The veteran guard made all three of his free throws to force overtime, but win 20 would have to wait as Anthony Davis fouled him with 0.1 seconds left in regulation on a corner three. Timberwolves were simply out of gas in the final period, even if it wore them out in the fourth. The Lakers took advantage of the circumstance, winning a game that left players on both teams gasping for oxygen.
