After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Hawks 120-119. Heat's offense had its way with the Hawks. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
