Takeaways from another short-handed Heat win. This one was a 24-point road victory over the Hawks miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… “I think that’s the best quality about our team is that no one is worried about anything, everybody is just enjoying each other’s success right now.” – 11:57 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Depending on the result of tonight’s Nets-Bulls, the Heat either will be within two games of first in the East (if the Bulls lose) or in second in the East (if the Nets lose). As for tiebreakers: 2-0 vs. Bulls, 1-0 vs. Nets. – 11:33 PM Marla Ridenour @MRidenourABJ
2021-22 #Cavs building a resume:
Had not won in Miami since 2010
Had not won in Portland since 2013
Largest ever victory in Utah, hadn’t won in Utah since 2014 – 11:21 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
I asked Collins what Atlanta needs that’s missing:
“Togetherness, communication.. But really, we need some damn heart. We’ve just got to come out there & play hard & want to win & that’s the biggest thing. We all have that, & we’re together with that, we can win & beat anybody.” – 11:11 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
John Collins gets interrupted in his postgame postmortem by his iPhone’s Siri saying, “I don’t understand.”
He rolls with it 100 percent. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/KjMgQc7UGW – 10:59 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Malik Monk was 5 for 6 from 3 at the half at Atlanta on Friday. Tonight, he’s 4 for 4 with 5:28 still to play in the 2nd Q.
LAL hold a 57-49 lead into a time out. – 10:55 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
“It felt pretty good,” De’Andre Hunter said of his wrist after his first game back. “It didn’t really bother me.” – 10:52 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro:
“If you told anyone at the beginning of the season that we’d play this many games without Jimmy and Bam, and this would be our record. I think people would look at you crazy.” – 10:48 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
John Collins was in the middle of answering a question about why the Hawks aren’t playing together/in-sync when his phone went off 😂
JC: “That’s why I continue to say we need to come this way and be together…”
Siri: “I’m not sure I understand”
JC: “Me too, Siri” – 10:47 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Zylan Cheatham wearing the Rayjon Tucker Memorial No. 6 … and given the way he’s playing, it’s apropos. – 10:44 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat

Tyler Herro on this team slowing down so many of the league’s best point guards lately:
“It’s really just Caleb…Caleb’s been playing out of his mind for us on both sides of the floor.” – 10:41 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro on who he has watched film on for his play-making:
“I tried to watch Steve Nash a little bit.” – 10:40 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
John Collins: “The foundation of a winning basketball team is togetherness.”
But also, trying to peg the solution to a circular question, noted that winning breeds the togetherness. – 10:39 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro on his triple-double watch:
“I didn’t know til I was like at 8 rebounds. Then Kyle Lowry told me two more rebounds. Once he told me I started to hunt for the rebounds a bit.”
“It feels good not having to chase stats.”
Says they just come in the flow of the game – 10:39 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Kyle Lowry on Caleb Martin guarding every team’s best guard lately like Fox, Curry, CP3, Trae Young:
“He’s playing his butt off right now.”
Kyle says it gives him an opportunity to play free safety with Caleb’s constant pressure – 10:35 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

Duncan Robinson talks about Spo game-planning on the fly, but also says:
“I give a lot of credit to somebody like Kyle as well. He’s really dictating what we’re doing on the floor as well.”
“In terms of execution, Kyle has really been the rock behind all of the craziness.” – 10:31 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
Won 4 of 6 on the road, and 8 of our next 9 are at home.
SEE YOU SOON, MIAMI 🙌 pic.twitter.com/B6IdwIKtff – 10:29 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
We’re not gonna talk about how he was one rebound away from his first career triple-double. We’re not. 🥲
Regardless, #TylerHerro balled out and led us to another win. #NBAAllStar pic.twitter.com/ycUeM5ZVBw – 10:20 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
Putting a chokehold on the paint, sending help and taking charges… tonight we saw what this team can do defensively with 3 days rest.
That, and a whole lot of Herro Ball spelled the end for Atlanta.

Erik Spoelstra on Tyler Herro’s passing:

Erik Spoelstra on Dewayne Dedmon:
“That interior toughness and size. He protects the rim extremely well. He’s one of our better screen and roll guys to the rim.”
“He was so excited just to be back with the group practicing.” – 10:02 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

FINAL: Heat 115, Hawks 91. Heat reaches midway point of the season at 26-15. – 9:47 PM Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
With this 115-91 win against Atlanta, Heat reaches midpoint of season at 26-15, really impressive considering injuries to Butler and Bam. Herro 21 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds. Martin 18 points, 10 boards – 9:47 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Ugly loss for the Hawks, 115-91, against a Heat team without Bam Adebayo/Jimmy Butler.
Hawks fall to 17-23 and haven’t won at home since Nov. 22. – 9:47 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
We hear those “Let’s go HEAT” chants 🔥 – 9:47 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Hawks drop their ninth straight home game and are now 17-23 after losing to the Heat 115-91.

Hunter: 15 points, 4/11 FG
Bogdanovic: 15/5, 6/14 FG – 9:46 PM John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Heat need a play to get Herro a rebound for his triple double. Had one ripped way by Yursteven a minute ago. – 9:46 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
I wonder if Trae Young thinks he should be in the conversation with Tyler Herro – 9:44 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Heat ahead by 21. Six players with double-digit points, even without Adebayo and Butler. Good times for the Heat. – 9:44 PM Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Another double-double for Yurtseven, Herro two rebounds shy of the NBA’s first off-the-bench triple-double this season and what would be the third in Heat history. – 9:43 PM Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Miami has played a center all night and OO has 22 mins. – 9:40 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
steal + score big as we try to close this out pic.twitter.com/QfSuntZ0c1 – 9:38 PM John Hollinger @johnhollinger
That was weird. Duncan Robinson just kinda stopped playing and held the ball out because he was expecting a call of some kind. Atlanta gladly took it and scored a layup. – 9:37 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Heat dominating right now while shooting under 32% from three
They won the last game due to having a franchise night from beyond the arc
This team finds different ways every single night – 9:35 PM Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Atlanta was in it again, before Trae took a 35-footer (missed), Yurtseven got a dunk, Trae throws a bad pass, Yurtseven gets another putback and the Heat just like that are back up 18 with 6:10 left. – 9:34 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks trailed by 22 but have gotten it back down to a 13-point deficit, 88-75, with 9:13 to play. – 9:25 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

Hawks down 86-67 at the end of the third.
Hawks keep saying after games that they need to figure out how to have more urgency.
Looking like we’ll have to wait until Friday to see a change with that. – 9:20 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

TRAE has been the offense for three minutes and in the bonus and you take him out for rest? – 9:17 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Since a 1-of-5 start from three-point range, the Heat has shot 10 of 24 (41.7 percent) from deep. – 9:14 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson being able to play together at a decent level during a period without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo is quite the development – 9:13 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

Kevin Huerter didn’t play football at Shen, but that was a fine tackle of Kyle Lowry. – 8:59 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Hawks have now been outscored 12-0 by the Heat to start the third quarter and trail, 68-51. – 8:59 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
I think there’s more of a chance this rotation being long-term than it being temporary
Max Strus and Duncan Robinson look right at home
I don’t think it’s coincidental – 8:54 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
8-0 run for the Heat to open the third quarter. Three misses and a turnover for the Hawks.
Hawks down 13 – 8:54 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang

Hawks need to keep OO on the floor – solid defense, great screens, and I bet he will hit his throws this half. Open Trae up with some OO screens. – 8:51 PM Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
List of players with at least 16 points and at least 8 assists in a first half, off the bench, last 25 seasons:
– Tyler Herro, tonight.
End of list. – 8:50 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

I really think there’s something there with Duncan and Herro off the bench
Duncan’s shots don’t shift at all
It’s the same looks, except Herro has a safety net with his improved playmaking at the moment
Even with starters return, this may make the team better – 8:43 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
There we go. pic.twitter.com/ONqZIq6JVi – 8:42 PM Spencer Percy @QCHspencer

At halftime, De’Andre Hunter leads the Hawks in scoring (13 points, 3-4 from 3).
Also has a block.
Hawks trail the Heat, 56-51. – 8:35 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Most impressed I’ve been with Tyler Herro in a half of basketball
Scoring comfort, passing vision, and his best defensive stretch of the season by far
(Not just the block, but the way he’s moving his feet on-ball)
Some next level skills right now – 8:33 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

This first half has been a display of all the work Tyler Herro has done to improve from last season. Hesitation dribbles (adding to his bag), beating defenders off the dribble (improved first step) and jumping for blocks (higher vertical/more strength). – 8:31 PM Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Tyler Herro misses shot. Look how he recovers. 94-foot sprint to make a play. pic.twitter.com/4stEY7XGBO – 8:30 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

Tyler Herro forces a Trae Young switch and really takes advantage on a nice jumper
Young tries to take Herro back, and Herro was moving his feet exceptionally
That’s big time – 8:26 PM Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Tyler Herro: 16 points, 15 minutes. He makes this look normal. It is not normal. – 8:25 PM Anthony Chiang @Anthony_Chiang
Heat with nine turnovers and eight assists. Not a sharp offensive performance, so far. – 8:23 PM Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Ugly start to this one
Tyler Herro keeping them in somewhat of an offensive rhythm
This should be a 91-89 finish – 8:18 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT

By my count the Jazz have 10 players available tonight including freshly signed 10-day Zylan Cheatham. No centers. – 7:26 PM Miami Heat @MiamiHEAT
Heading into tonight’s game @OmerYurtseven5 is the first NBA rookie in over 40 years to grab 16+ rebounds in 4 straight games… assistant coach Malik Allen plays a big role in that.
@CoupNBA has the scoop on the work Yurt is putting in behind-the-scenes – 7:26 PM Atlanta Hawks PR @HawksPR
The Hawks, who will play 10 of their next 12 games at home, welcome the Miami Heat to State Farm Arena tonight. Atlanta won the 2020-21 regular season series (2-1) and ride a two-game winning streak over Miami into tonight’s contest.
