After Action Report

The Hawks blew the doors off the Heat 125-102. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
