After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Hawks 124-120. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
