The Heat’s three-day break in between games involved a lot of talk and work involving defense. But that theme didn’t continue into Saturday’s game.
Just offense, and plenty of it.
In a game that included 241 points and 29 made threes between the two teams, the Heat (3-5) fell to the rebuilding Hawks 123-118 at State Farm Arena on Saturday. Miami has now dropped three straight games.
Atlanta (3-6) led by as many as 15 points, but Miami rallied to take a one-point lead with 6:41 to play. But the Hawks took over from there, outscoring the Heat 13-7 the rest of the way to hold on for the win.
