4:50 pm on 5 January 2010

The Miami Heat snapped a three-game NBA losing streak by beating the slumping Atlanta Hawks 92-75.

Dwyane Wade registered a team-high 28 points for Miami and Michael Beasley contributed 22 points and eight rebounds as the Heat never looked back after racing into a 30-14 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Hawks (21-12) fell to their fourth straight defeat and recorded a season-low scoring total with reserve Jamal Crawford (23 points) one of just two players that reached double figures.
