Heat roll past Hawks, win fourth straight

The Heat dominated their Southeast division rival in an improved offensive display Sunday night.

The Miami Heat raced out to a 9-2 lead to open their Sunday evening game against the Atlanta Hawks and never looked back, defeating their Southeast division rival 105-87 and winning their fourth straight game -- Miami's first four-game winning streak since the 2013-14 season.

For Miami, it appears the arrival of Beno Udrih, Goran Dragic and Josh McRoberts coincided with a wider, positive adjustment in the Heat's playing style. No longer does it take the Heat 16 seconds to get Dwyane Wade a post-up; now, the Heat are pushing the ball up court, moving the ball well and finding open shots.
