After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Hawks 104-98. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
