After Action Report
The Hawks handled the Heat 115-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
