Hawks Host Hated Heat in MLK Showdown

the Miami Heat roll into town for the second time this season. On November 27, Miami stifled Atlanta 106-98 with their zone defense. Today should present similar challenges for Atlanta, as they are still one of the worst outside shooting teams in the league. To further complicate matters, Miami is heating up. They have won three consecutive games and are one game behind the New York Knicks for the coveted sixth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.

Atlanta picked up two unexpected wins last week and is starting to feel the pressure of their own lofty expectations. With the trade deadline less than a month away, Atlanta's roster must prove they can make it work or face an even more uncertain future.

Another wire to wire win. I may be too optimistic but I feel they can get within 1 game of the 6th seed by the end of this month.

Great win! Far from being perfect, but it's great they hadn't thought that a 10pts lead would be enough and they maintain effort to get more than 20pts lead, because it happened again that opponent came back.
This is something to fix, like the 10 TOs from Trae, but if they can win with that, it's positive.
