After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the Hawks 97-92. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
