After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Heat 96-93. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
