After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Hawks 114-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
