The Story:
The Miami Heat defeated the Atlanta Hawks 104-88 at the American Airlines Arena on Tuesday night. The game was a battle between the top two teams in the South Eastern Division and the first time the two teams had this season. The Miami Heat were without Dwyane Wade as the team gave him the night off to get some rest, James Jones got the start in-place of Wade. The contest started off tight but the Heat blew the game open in the second half. Chris Bosh lead the way for Miami with a ridiculous 8-9 shooting performance. Bosh totaled 19 points and 5 rebounds and won the individual matchup against Hawks center Al Horford. LeBron James had a quite night but was still efficient as ever. This marked the fourth victory in a row for the Heat, the longest winning streak of the 2013-2014 season thus far.
Play of the Game:
In the third quarter Chris Bosh went diving into the stands for a lose ball which resulted in him tumbling over the first row of fans. In a very Chris Bosh fashion though he got up and gave a thumbs up to let the crowd know he was OK.
Up Next:
The Heat have a very quick turn around as they travel to Orlando on Wednesday night to face the Magic, another division rival. This will be the first match-up between the two teams. Tip off is set for 7:00 PM at the Amway Center in Orlando.
