In Episode 27 of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Hawks Report Podcast, host and beat reporter Sarah K. Spencer breaks down what happened in Atlanta’s Game 2 loss against the Heat.

She looks at how turnovers killed the Hawks again, why Jimmy Butler had such a big night, and why the Hawks still like their chances at home.
