After Action Report
The Heat buried the Hawks 133-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
