After Action Report
The Hawks edged the Heat 93-85. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
