After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Hawks 129-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
