After Action Report
The Heat survived the Hawks 115-112. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
