After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat shocked the Hawks 115-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it

- Hawks · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
