A season that never got off the ground ended with the Hawks unable to get off one last shot.

In episode 30 of the Hawks Report podcast from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, beat reporter Sarah K. Spencer digs into what happened to Atlanta in Game 5 in Miami that resulted in a 4-1 Eastern Conference playoff series loss to the Heat.

She discusses how the Heat continued to frustrate Trae Young, what happened to De’Andre Hunter before and after he fouled out, and some quick thoughts on the entire season.
