Still without Clint Capela injured in the left ankle, Atlanta conceded its tenth loss of the season at home. The Hawks lost 115-91 to Miami.
Dominated in the air – 54 rebounds for the Heat against 37 for the Hawks – due to the absence of the Genevan, Atlanta let go in a third quarter lost 30-16. Even without its best man Jimmy Butler, Miami has struggled to pick up an uneventful success.
Beaten in seven of their last nine games, the Hawks still sit a modest twelfth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The play-off bar is now three wins. Urgency requires reacting very quickly.
