Both teams were slow to start, but it was Kelly who’d eventually draw first blood. The Heat made 4 of their first four shots to go on a very nice 7-0 scoring run with Justise and Bam leading the charge. The Hawks didn’t stay quiet for long, inching back off great plays from Trae Young and Kevin Huerter. Josh Richardson, was hot to start for the Heat scoring on some incredibly drives and finding his teammates for open looks.
The Heat struggled on defense getting out hustled for rebounds, but offensively they were solid.
