After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Heat 100-97. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
