After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Hawks 120-99. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
