After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Hawks 142-133. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Heat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it

- Heat · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
