Robinson scored 27 points on 9-of-10 shooting for the Heat, making 8 of 9 from 3-point range. Jimmy Butler scored 21 points, P.J. Tucker added 16 and Kyle Lowry had 10.

Young went 1 for 12, matching his effort against Chicago on Jan. 23, 2019.

Danilo Gallinari led Atlanta with 17 points. De’Andre Hunter scored 14 and John Collins added 10.

Game 2 is Tuesday.

Robinson broke the team record of seven 3s that he previously shared with Damon Jones and Mike Miller.

He couldn’t miss. The Hawks, well, they couldn’t make.

Young was 0 for 7 from 3-point range and finished with just eight points, a season-low. Bogdan Bogdanovic missed all eight of his shots, and the Hawks never led outside of a brief edge in the opening minutes.

BUCKS 93, BULLS 86: Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points and 16 rebounds, and defending champion Milwaukee recovered after blowing a 16-point lead to beat Chicago in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.

Jrue Holiday sank a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5:03 left as part of an 8-0 run that gave the Bucks an 85-78 edge. The Bulls got the margin down to one but could never regain the lead, and Zach LaVine missed a potential tying 3-pointer from nearly 30 feet away with 29 seconds left.

The Bucks have won 17 of their last 18 meetings with the Bulls, including all five matchups this season.

Nikola Vucevic had 24 points and 17 rebounds for the Bulls, who are making their first playoff appearance in five years.

SUNS 110, PELICANS 99: Chris Paul scored 19 of his 30 points during a brilliant fourth-quarter shooting display and Phoenix beat New Orleans in Phoenix in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.

The top-seeded Suns needed Paul’s big finish despite dominating most of the game. The Pelicans shook off a slow start, cutting a 23-point deficit to 79-71 by the end of the third.

New Orleans kept hitting shots in the fourth, but that’s when Paul took over, hitting three 3-pointers and a layup in 2 1/2 minutes in a flurry that kept the Pelicans chasing. The ageless veteran will turn 37 later in these playoffs if the Suns advance far enough, but once again looked a decade younger.

Paul has never won a championship, falling just short with the Suns last year when they lost to the Bucks in six games in the Finals. He’s fond of saying he never takes postseason basketball for granted and his 130th career playoff game was among his best.

Game 2 is Tuesday night in Phoenix.
