HAWKS POSTCAST: Miami Heat Dominate Atlanta Hawks In Southeast Divisional Showdown

Miami's frontcourt proved to be too much for Atlanta on Friday evening at State Farm Arena on back end of a back-to-back in Tyler Herro's return despite MIA's 70+ paint points. 

The Heat got out to an 11-3 run before the first break of the 1st Quarter and controlled the remainder of it for the rest of the way before the Hawks stormed back in Quarter 2 with the ability to convert on shots it usually connects on. It wasn't until the 3rd Quarter that ATL reverted back to doing its best impression of the 1st Quarter by misconnecting on free-throws, lackluster energy on defense and being outhustled by the opposition as 2 of the top teams in the NBA in the open floor. Albeit in triple-double fashion, Jalen Johnson struggled shooting consistently but who's responsible for stepping up when JJ underperforms? Why does ATL struggle so much at State Farm Arena?
