After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Heat 103-76. Ugly basketball, but the Hawks did just enough. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
