The NBA world was tuned in to Hawks-Bucks Game 1, and they were not disappointed as the game provided quite a few moments that sent social media on fire.

One of the most viral moments of the game was Trae Young burying a three-pointer after he shook his defender and shook his body.

Just a few minutes later Trae provided John Collins with one of the best assists of the postseason.

The fun scenes from Game 1 weren't limited to the on-court action either as Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari was back with one of his "finishing moves."

Even post game, the moments kept coming as Shaq spread his wings and showed his true colors on TNT.

But don't let social media twist the story. What the Hawks accomplished in the 116-113 win isn't to be overshadowed.

For the third consecutive series the underdog Atlanta Hawks stole Game 1 on the road.

After doing so against the Knicks and the Sixers, the Bucks were surely aware of what the Hawks would try to do in Game 1 and still couldn't avoid it.

The Hawks have stolen home-court advantage and now put the pressure squarely on the Bucks to hold serve in Game 2.

While so much of the focus from Game 1 is on Trae's shimmy, it's actually the Hawks performance that should be stealing the headlines.
