Arbitrators rule against Orioles pitcher Bergesen
ATLANTA, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Joe Johnson had 24 points Friday and Al Horford grabbed a career-high 22 rebounds, leading the Atlanta Hawks to a 91-83 decision over Miami.
The Hawks held on down the stretch to snap a three-game losing streak and defeat Miami for the second time in three meetings this season.
Atlanta point guard Mike Bibby, who had been out two games with the flu, played just 19 minutes and missed all seven of his field goal attempts.
Miami was led by 23 points from Michael Beasley and 21 from Dwyane Wade.
Atlanta held only an 84-80 lead when Johnson benefited from a questionable call on Wade to make two free throws in the final minute. Miami's Mario Chalmers then missed a 3-point attempt to end the Heat's hopes.
