After Action Report
The Heat downed the Hawks 127-113. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
