After Action Report
The Heat survived the Hawks 118-115. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
