After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Hawks 110-101. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
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.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
