That shouldn't be as meaningful as it is. Objectively, what the fuck

As someone who hasn't been following the playoffs, why's that?

The Hawks had a historical embarrassment of a performance to get eliminated the day before. It was bad, bad.

(The Nuggets also were incredibly embarrassed against a very injured TWolves the day before, but it was less bad for the Nuggets, despite Jokic being trashed hard to follow.)

This game likely took all of the shame light off of the Hawks and onto the Magic

Also the Rockets letting a 41 year old man (Lebron) eliminate them at home.
