Hawks-Heat Preview

The Atlanta Hawks don't seem to have much confidence offensively when they visit Miami. An outstanding opening week of March, though, should have them brimming with confidence right now.

Winners of four straight, the Hawks and their surging offense look to end their road struggles against the Heat on Saturday night.

Atlanta (40-21) beat Milwaukee 106-102 in overtime Feb. 28, and has averaged 118.3 points in winning its first three games of March to produce the club's longest winning streak since a six-game run Dec. 5-18.

The Hawks, however, are opening a three-game trip at a venue where they have not had much success.

Atlanta has lost 25 of its last 29 games at Miami, averaging 84.2 points and shooting 40.6 percent. That includes two losses in three games in the first round of last year's playoffs, a series the Hawks ultimately won in seven games.

Atlanta has been held under 80 points in four of its last five road games against the Heat (31-31), including a 92-75 loss Jan. 4.

Miami has been stingy defensively overall this season, allowing 95.5 points per game.

However, the Hawks have scored at least 100 in five of their last six games away from Philips Arena. They're returning to the road following a 127-122 home win over Golden State on Friday night.

Atlanta leading scorer Joe Johnson played despite flulike symptoms. Johnson, averaging 21.5 points, was held to 10 on 3-for-14 shooting.

Josh Smith and Al Horford helped the Hawks compensate. Smith had a season-high 29 points while Horford added 27 with 15 rebounds.

"It was important we all came out and gave him support," Horford said of Johnson.

Johnson was limited to 11 points - shooting 4 of 15 - and Smith had eight in January's visit to Miami. Johnson was the only Hawks starter to reach double figures.

Miami is coming off a big home win, 114-111 in overtime against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. A victory over Atlanta would give the Heat three straight at home for the first time this season.

Back at .500, Miami is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, one game ahead of Charlotte and one-half game behind Chicago.

Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 27 points and a season-high 14 assists versus the Lakers, but Jermaine O'Neal made perhaps the game's biggest play. The center drew a crucial charge against Lakers star Kobe Bryant with 18.7 seconds left in overtime.

"We have big-moment, big-player type guys that love to step up to a big challenge like this and aren't afraid of the moment," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Obviously, Dwyane is like that, Jermaine is like that. Udonis (Haslem), Quentin (Richardson) will hit big shots. A lot of times it's a fight and an argument to see who's going to shoot the ball. They're not running from it. They want the moment."

Wade is averaging 31.5 points while shooting 61.5 percent (24 for 39) from the field and 93.8 percent (15 for 16) from the line in his last two home games against the Hawks.

Miami leads the season series 2-1.

Beasley steps up in clutch as Heat end Hawks' win streak

By Chris Perkins, for NBA.com
Posted Sunday March 7, 2010 12:11AM

MIAMI (NBA.com exclusive) -- Heat guard Dwyane Wade didn't need to say much to second-year forward Michael Beasley in Saturday's game against Atlanta. In fact, Wade didn't say much during one particular second-half timeout. Instead, he punched Beasley in the chest.

"That's the truth," Beasley said with a smile. "He just punched me in the chest and was yelling, 'I need you.' "

Beasley responded in a big way in helping lead Miami to a 100-94 victory over the Hawks.

In the final 2:31, he had two steals, an alley-oop dunk, a rebound, a put-back basket and, perhaps the biggest basket of the game, a 3-pointer with 46.8 seconds left that gave Miami a 98-92 lead. Not bad for a guy who hadn't played a single fourth-quarter minute in the previous three games.

"I desperately needed this, just for confidence going into the last 20 games of the season," said Beasley, who has been on the bench in the final two minutes of tight games all season.

Miami (32-31) also desperately needed the victory. Miami is in a group with Toronto, Chicago, Charlotte and Milwaukee vying for the Nos. 5 through 8 playoff seeds in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, Atlanta could have used the win, too. The Hawks (40-22, .645), who had their four-game win streak ended, are chasing Boston (39-21, .650) for the No. 3 seed.

Atlanta, which got 24 points off the bench from guard Jamal Crawford, one of the leading candidates for Sixth Man of the Year, only managed two field goals and four points in the final 4:26. During that time it committed three turnovers and went 2-for-9 from the field.

"[We had] two turnovers and a couple of missed assignments on defense [down the stretch]," Crawford said.

The Heat were led by Wade's 38 points and 10 assists. It was his third consecutive game with 10 or more assists, and during that time he's averaging 33.3 points and 12 assists per game.

Atlanta countered with four players in double digits (Crawford had 24 points, guard Joe Johnson had 20 points, forward Josh Smith has 17 and center Al Horford had 10), but the Hawks uncharacteristically couldn't make plays down the stretch at either end of the court.

Beasley's two steals might have been the key defensive plays of the game. Both came on passes intended for Smith when the Hawks were trying to extend their 92-91 lead.

"We threw blind passes and they capitalized on them," Hawks coach Mike Woodson said.

That might have been due to Wade's motivational tactics.

"This is a time of year where it's winning time, and we need Michael," Wade said. "We need him to be aggressive...It got to the point where I just felt as a leader I had to get in his face. I didn't mean to hit him in his chest. He took it the way he should."

Notes

Heat guard Rafer Alston was mysteriously and curiously absent Saturday. Asked whether he'd return this season, Spoelstra replied, "We'll see." The Heat said Alston, who was on the inactive list, missed the game for personal reasons and said it would issue a release explaining Alston's status. Alston was the starter until two games ago, when he started and then sat out the final three quarters. He sat on the bench for all of Thursday's 114-111 overtime victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, meaning he'd been benched for seven consecutive quarters in favor of Carlos Arroyo.

Heat center Jermaine O'Neal sat out the final three quarters with a minor left knee injury...Hawks G Joe Johnson was scoreless in the fourth quarter and misfired on his last 10 field goal attempts. He ended 8-for-23 from the field.
