Heat downs the Hawks for eighth straight win

The Fourth quarter was definitely a nail biter, but the Miami Heat proved victorious. With Miami turning two veterans off the bench, Ray Allen and Shane Battier combined for 24 points in the fourth quarter, and the Heat scored the first 13 points for the period to erase Atlanta’s 10-point lead and beat the Hawks 103-90 on Wednesday night for their eighth straight win of the season. The Heat trailed only 57-56 early in the third period before the Hawk’s stretched the lead with 10 straight points. Korver had two 3-pointers before  Smith’s two-handed jam capped the run, giving Atlanta its biggest lead at 67-56. Allen, who had a three-point play after Battier’s first  3-pointer of the fourth quarter, gave Miami its first lead of the second half at 74-73 with a layup. Two free-throws by James capped the 13-0 run. After this win, fans will be geared up for the next battle on the court. The Miami Heat is up to play the Chicago Bulls and you can catch all the action tonight at 8:00 p.m. on TNT.
