After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Heat buried the Hawks 125-100. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
