"Behind a pair of strong performances from guard Pelle Larsson and Norman Powell, the Miami Heat snapped a three-game skid Friday evening with a 126-111 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Larsson, returning from a high ankle sprain after a four-game absence, filled the box score up with 21 points, six rebounds, five assists and one steal, shooting 9-of-13 from the floor and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc."
"The biggest difference came in the 2nd and 4th quarters, where Miami outscored Atlanta 67-45 over those two periods. The up-tempo pace played into the Heat's favor. The ball movement was much better allowing them to create and exploit advantages off the bounce. Collectively, the Heat shot 47.1 percent and 11-of-36 from beyond the arc (30.6 percent). Conversely, the Hawks shot 47.1 percent and 33.3 percent (12-36) from distance."
