After Action Report
The Heat survived the Hawks 110-108. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Hawks lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
