The Heat lead the series 2 - 1

The Miami Heat left no doubt who owns the Miami Arena tonight with a convincing win over the visiting Atlanta Hawks 107 - 78. The Heat played well throughout the entire game, with strong defense and good offensive execution. The few times Atlanta looked to be mounting a comeback run, James Jones was Johnny on the spot with several incredibly well timed three pointers to take the wind out of their sails.

Again, Jermaine O'Neal stood tall, with 22 points and 10 rebounds, going to the foul line often and hitting his shots. And yes, he was pulled by coach Erik Spoelstra in the fourth quarter with 3:38 remaining in the game. His stat line at the time, 29 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds. Next game, Monday night in Miami.
