The Hawks advanced past the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 1999 with a 91-78 win over the Heat on Sunday.

None of the series' seven games were very close, and the deciding Game 7 held true to form.

Joe Johnson led Atlanta with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 5 steals, and Josh Smith added 21 points and 9 boards in the victory.

The Hawks shot just 40.8% from the field, but they forced 17 turnovers and went 11-for-23 from three-point land.

Dwyane Wade starred for the Heat with 31 points on 10-for-25 shooting, and Michael Beasley added 17 points and 7 rebounds off the bench.

The Hawks will face the Cavaliers in the second round of the postseason.
