Five takeaways from the Miami Heat’s 115-86 blowout win over the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday night at Philips Arena:
1. The Heat intends to keep playing hard and competing for the No. 6 seed the rest of the season while being mindful of injuries and rest.
It might have not looked like it at first when coach Erik Spoelstra announced pregame Dwyane Wade (wrist), Goran Dragic (ankle) and James Johnson (ankle) were sitting out the game to heal from nagging injuries, but the Heat and Hawks reminded us just how bad Atlanta (22-57) has been this season and the sizable gap between the two temas.
