After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat pulled away from the Hawks 129-114. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
