    Hawks crave more from Young in rematch with torrid Heat

    The Miami Heat, who play host to the Atlanta Hawks for a second straight game on Tuesday night, have not looked like a championship team for much of this season. Perhaps it was a hangover from the summer of 2020, when the Heat perfectly handled the COVID-19 pandemic "bubble" to advance all the way to the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers. This season, the Heat were out of the playoff picture at 11-17 before catching fire with six straight wins, evening their record on Sunday for the first time since they were 4-4.
