After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat buried the Hawks 130-94. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. The Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
