Without Bam, Heat wings and guards push past Hawks

Norman Powell – Grade: B+

Norman Powell played a very good game against the Hawks. He found his shot and never looked back. His ability to get buckets efficiently made a huge difference for Miami. The Hawks had no one to stop Powell and he knew it. Powell shot 9/16 from the field overall, but he did only shoot 2/8 from three. I thought Powell did a great job of finding ways to get into the paint and in the midrange. He also displayed his ability to draw fouls on jump shots, having 5 free throw attempts this game. Powell was also doing other things other than scoring. He was a willing rebounder from the start of the game. He also was able to use his scoring ability to get teammates open, which only helps the offensive flow. Powell finished the game with 25 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal.

Pelle Larsson – Grade: A

Pelle Larsson deserves all the love that he is getting from Miami Heat fans. He plays his role perfectly and this game was no different. He had an incredible performance doing everything he was asked, and even more. He carried the Heat’s 3 point shooting making 3 of his 4 attempts, even banking in one. Even when he is scoring at a high volume, he still is the same Larsson. He was scrapy and found a way to inject himself into every aspect of the game. Larsson brings toughness that this team sometimes lacks. The whole feeling of the team changes when he is on the court. Larsson finished with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

Andrew Wiggins – Grade: B

Andrew Wiggins has been struggling in recent games for Miami, but tonight he showed what he is capable of. Wiggins was a game high +21 tonight and made a consistent impact during his 32 minutes. I thought his shot selection was much better today and did a good job of attacking his man when he had a good matchup. Wiggins did not settle for only taking 3 point shots but was consistently getting to his spots. He also showed what he is capable of on the defensive end helping force the Hawks into 21 turnovers and a bad shooting display. The Heat need more of this play from Wiggins. He finished the contest with 18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
