The Heat (14 - 9) locked down the Hawks (14 - 12) in a 100 - 88 victory at Philips Arena on Monday. Playing their second game in as many nights, the Heat turned in a dominant defensive performance, particularly on Hawks' guards Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver, who combined to shoot 4 - of - 24 from the field. Miami also did nice work on the boards, outrebounding Atlanta 54 - 37, perhaps the biggest difference in the game. Chris Bosh led the way for the Heat, scoring a team - high 24 points to go along with 10 rebounds for his second double - double in three games. But the MVP of the game was Gerald Green, who came off the bench to score 20 points on 9 - of - 14 shooting over 31 minutes. It was the fourth straight game that Green reached double - digit scoring, as the veteran guard has taken advantage of the absence of Tyler Johnson, who missed his third straight game due to a shoulder injury. The Hawks were really hurt by a poor first half, scoring just 38 points over the first two quarters of the game. Aside from the poor guard play, Paul Millsap and Al Horford had a tough time down low and were held in check by Bosh and Hassan Whiteside. That left just one starter left, Kent Bazemore, who had a monster game with a season - high 28 points on 11 - of - 18 shooting along with three 3 - pointers over 40 minutes - - which was also a season high. The Heat travel to Brooklyn to face the Nets on Wednesday; the Hawks will look to end a three - game losing streak against the 76ers.
