Recap Miami Heat @ Atlanta Hawks 01/20

Recap Miami Heat @ Atlanta Hawks:

Pace Factor – 95.6
Miami Heat Off. Rtg – 118.4
Atlanta Hawks Off. Rtg – 127.5

The Heat looked tired and their defense is coasting right now… According to my numbers, in the first 31 games of the season, MIA has allowed only once their opponents to have +120.0 Off. Rtg – it was the Bulls @12/05 w/ 121.1 Off. Rtg while scoring 107 points. However since 01/January, MIA has allowed 122.8 Off. Rtg to GSW at home; 123.0 Off. Rtg to NYK on the road; 130.0 Off. Rtg to WAS last week and yesterday, they allowed 127.5 Off. Rtg to the Hawks – this is a really a bad trend for them! ATL was able to score 121 points even though Jeff Teague struggled heavily w/ 1-7 FG for just 2 points! I understand that MIA is shorthanded because we shouldn’t watch them playing w/ Ray Allen, Cole and Mason Jr. on the perimeter, but still, this bad defensive play has been embarrassing.
