NBA schedule: Heat top Hawks to move to first in Southeast division

The Heat led by just two points at the half but were able to pull away over the final two quarters.

The Hawks could have taken the division lead with a win but instead find themselves 1.5 games behind the Heat. Atlanta also fell to Miami on Nov. 9, with a score of 95-89.

The Rockets host the Spurs at 7 p.m. CT at the Toyota Center.

Hawks basketball consisted of Teague and Lou Williams crashing the rim and making three-pointers while swarming the ball on the defense end. Williams had 21 points off the bench for the Hawks and was 4-of-6 from three-point territory, while the defense held Memphis to just 42.9 percent shooting from the field.

Atlanta has yet to allow a team to shoot better than 50.0 percent from the floor this season.
