After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat survived the Hawks 107-106. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
