Heat Burn Hawks in Final Quarter

The Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks played a close game on Friday night, but the Heat came out on top, 95-89. The Hawks were keeping it close, until LeBron James hit a shot with thirteen seconds left to seal the deal.
The Heat, who were playing without Dwayne Wade tonight who sat out with a cold, moved to 5-1 on the year. Chris Bosh led the Heat with 24 points, James finished with 21, Ray Allen added seventeen off the bench and Mario Chalmers scored twelve to give the Heat four players in double figures. James also had eleven rebounds and nine assists to finish an assist shy of a triple-double.
The Hawks gave the Heat a good fight. They were even winning at halftime, 46-42. Miami started to put the game away in the fourth quarter before Jeff Teague hit two 3-pointers to tie the game at 85. Al Horford then scored on a layup to give the Hawks an 87-85 lead, but that would be Atlanta's last effort.
The Hawks had five players score in double figures, led by Teague's 20 points. Anthony Morrow added seventeen, Josh Smith had thirteen, Kyle Korver had eleven and Horford had ten. Smith led the team with eight rebounds and Teague had a season high eleven assists. The Hawks used all their players in this game, besides rookies Mike Scott and John Jenkins, who still haven't made their NBA debuts.
The Hawks, who are now 2-2 on the year, will travel to Los Angeles to play the Clippers on Sunday. The game will be at 3:30 p.m. The Clippers are currently 4-2 on the year after beating the Portland Trail Blazers 103-90 on Thursday.
