Frustrations are beginning to boil over as the Hawks are now five games under .500 at 17-22 and on the outside looking in at the playoff race.
Miami on the other hand has continued to flourish despite absences from key players. The Heat are 25-15, which has them sitting third in the Eastern Conference. Miami has been without star center Bam Adebayo for some time now due to injury, while Jimmy Butler has been in and out of the lineup all season.
