Miami Heat vs Atlanta Hawks Preview

The Heat began their California Classic campaign with a dominant 82-69 win over a Dylan Harper-less San Antonio Spurs on July 5. Pelle Larsson, Erik Stevenson, and Kel’el Ware were the only players to reach double-digits in scoring, combining for 48 points on 13-32 shooting.

However, the Heat couldn't sustain their level, dropping their subsequent clash against the Los Angeles Lakers on July 6. Despite five players scoring in double-digits, the South Florida team suffered a 103-83 blowout loss at Chase Center.

Miami, though, redeemed itself just two days later, concluding the California Classic on a high note. Backed by Kira Lewis Jr.’s 16-point, four-assist performance, the Heat beat the Golden State Warriors 93-79.

Meanwhile, the Hawks will play their first Summer League game on Thursday, boasting a roster consisting of exciting prospects. The likes of Jacob Toppin, Asa Newell, Kobe Bufkin and Nikola Durisic will aim to impress.
