Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks

Today January 18th, the Heat played against the Atlanta Hawks. I haven't been really on top of the games lately. I've always had some errand or other so when i miss one game a few others just slip from my knowledge.

From my understanding, after having a great run this season winning almost every game back to back, the Heat's winning streak has come to a very dead halt. They've lost 3 of their last games.

Come on Heat, we're rooting for you.
They actually played in their Home town of Miami, Fl at the American Airlines Arena.
The first half wasn't really appealing. They weren't playing like their usual selves, with bosh out for the game with an ankle injury. If it's not Wade, it's Lebron, and if it's not Lebron its Bosh. The dynamic trio need to find a way to keep it together. The Heat were trailing behind the Hawks in the 1st half, and just when things were picking up, the Hawks found a way to retaliate.

The Heat continued to trail behind the Hawks with only 5:30 left in the 3rd quarter. MIA: 45 @ ATL: 46. The 3rd quarter ended with no big change. The effort was in, but not the Heart. MIA:55 @ ATL:58

Coming into the 4th quarter

• Eddie House with a steal @ 10:10 into the game, while drawing the foul at the other end of the court
• Struggle with the ball amongst both teams
• Wade makes a tricky shot, while being blocked by 3 guys

7 minutes into the 4th quarter and Miami is tied with the Hawks. LBJ scores for the first time in the the 4th quarter.
2 min. left.

• ATL, MIA are tied

Miami isn't really playing their best in this game. with 54.6 seconds left in this game, it'll take al the layers to pull together just to win it. The heat decide to take this game into Over time instead of trying to go for the win in the last remaining seconds of the game. Will this make or break them?
We soon found out. The Hawks weren't letting their guard downs for one second. With 35 seconds left and the Heat weren't able to redeem themselves in tonights game. What a disappointing loss for Miami. This brings their total to 4 straight lost games. Sadly, the game ends with Heat 89 @ ATL: 93. LBJ and Wade with a combined score of 51 points. LBJ with 34 points, 7 assists. Anthony with 16 rebounds.

" A loss today, is a win tomorrow. Keep your heads up Heat. You'll win it next time."
Next game Saturday January 22 against Toronto. Home game at 7:30 pm on the Sun Sports network.
