After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Heat 103-102. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
