After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks snuck past the Heat 100-98. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
