After Action Report

The Hawks squeaked past the Heat 100-99. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
