The Hawks haven’t made it easy on the Heat this season, and Monday’s matchup wasn’t any different.
The result was different, though.
Entering with an 0-3 record against Atlanta this season, the Heat (29-34) finally found a way to defeat the Hawks in a 114-113 victory at AmericanAirlines Arena. Miami has now won three of its past four games and is riding a season-best three-game home winning streak.
Despite entering with the league’s fifth-worst record, the Hawks (22-43) again played the Heat tough.
