After Action Report
In Miami, the Hawks pulled away from the Heat 106-88. Every possession went the Hawks way. Hawks' balanced five covered every spot on the floor; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Balanced Five A starting five that covers every position with even talent finds a synergy edge.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
