After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Heat 121-97. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
