The Miami Heat is still hot.
Nine days after heading into the All-Star break with an impressive wire-to-wire victory in Houston, the Heat picked up right where it left off, winning for the 15th time in its last 17 games with an impressive 108-90 victory over the Hawks at Philips Arena Friday night.
Miami, which led by as many as 26 points in the fourth quarter, made a season-high 17 three-pointers on 36 attempts, collected assists on 30 of its 40 buckets, and held the Hawks – playing without suspended point guard Dennis Schroder – to 38 percent shooting.
