MIAMI — A night after the sky was falling, the Miami Heat regained their footing Saturday, with a needed 117-109 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at Miami-Dade Arena.
Of course, in typical 2022-23 Heat fashion, nothing came easy, with it becoming the Heat’s league-leading 45th clutch game of the season (one within five points at any point within the final five minutes).
But with Bam Adebayo stabilizing matters with high-percentage paint play and with Tyler Herro creating offense when needed, the Heat avoided falling to the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
