After Action Report
The Heat handled the Hawks 100-90. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
