Hawks fall to Heat in first road game of preseason

Trae Young scored 23 points to lead four Hawks in double figures Monday, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Miami from remaining perfect in the preseason as the Heat rolled 120-87 in Miami.

Young added seven assists, giving him 23 in the Hawks’ three preseason games. John Collins added 14, DeAndre Bembry 13 and Vince Carter 10 for the Hawks (0-3), who will play in New York Wednesday and Chicago Thursday in their final exhibition games.

Rookie Tyler Herro scored 23 points to lead Miami, which used an 18-2 second-quarter run to take control.

Bam Adebayo and Meyers Leonard had 15 points each while Derrick Jones Jr. and Kendrick Nunn each had 14 for Miami, which improved to 3-0 in the preseason.
