ATLANTA, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Jason Terry scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half and Nazr Mohammed had 13 points and 14 rebounds Saturday night as the Atlanta Hawks won for the first time this season, 90-83 over the Miami Heat.
Terry made just two shots in the first 24 minutes and five of 15 overall, but collected seven rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Mohammed, starting for injured center Theo Ratliff, made five of eight shots from the floor and picked up the slack for scoring forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim, who made just three of 15 shots and fouled out with 17 points and eight rebounds.
Abdur-Rahim's struggle stemmed from his matchup with Alonzo Mourning, who had 23 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks for the Heat, but got very little help.
Forward Brian Grant endured a terrible game with four points and eight rebounds. He was scoreless until the fourth quarter.
Miami trailed throughout the final three quarters but scored eight straight points to pull within 73-70 with less than four minutes to go. The Hawks led, 81-78, when Emanual Davis, who scored 11 points, hit a three-pointer to double the lead with 1:19 remaining.
The Heat failed to score on their next possession and Terry sank two free throws at the other end for an eight-point cushion.
Eddie Jones scored 17 points and former Hawk LaPhonso Ellis added 11 for Miami, which failed for the second straight game to notch its 500th franchise victory.
