After Action Report
In Miami, the Hawks outlasted the Heat 100-90. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
