After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Hawks 117-104. Heat's offense had its way with the Hawks. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
