After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat handled the Hawks 143-132. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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.
