After Action Report

The Heat edged the Hawks 114-108. Heat's starting five clicked while the Hawks looked disjointed. Shots just aren't falling for the Hawks lately; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. 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.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
