After Action Report
The Hawks took care of the Heat 101-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
