03/22/2007 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Williams scored 21 points and dished out eight assists to lead the Miami Heat over the Atlanta Hawks, 91-83, at Philips Arena.
Williams hit a key jumper and a pair of free throws down the stretch for the Heat, who nearly blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead but managed to hold on for their 10th win in 11 outings.
Eddie Jones added 14 points and Shaquille O'Neal had 12 points, six assists and just three rebounds for Miami, which for the time being pulled into a first-place tie with Washington for the top spot in the Southeast Division. The Wizards play in Seattle on Wednesday night.
Josh Smith scored 27 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked four shots for the Hawks, who have lost three of four. Marvin Williams added 16 points and 12 rebounds for Atlanta, which had a five-game home win streak halted.
Ahead by just three points, 49-46, early in the third quarter, the Heat scored eight straight points to start an 11-2 run that put the team in control. Udonis Haslem scored four points during the surge, which Jason Williams capped with a three-pointer for a 60-48 lead with five minutes left in the stanza.
Miami later led by as many as 15 points, 67-52, following a free throw by Antoine Walker and cruised into the fourth quarter with a 69-59 lead.
Atlanta made it interesting down the stretch, using a 14-4 run to draw within 83-80. A pair of free throws by Josh Childress with 1:17 left capped the surge, which saw Smith score six points.
Williams, though, answered for the Heat next time down the floor, draining a jumper over Childress with 1:03 left to extend the lead to five points. Jones then stole the ball from Marvin Williams under the basket on the other end of the floor and Jason Williams converted a pair of free throws with 25 seconds left to ice the game.
Jason Williams hit 7-of-14 shots from the floor, including 3-of-6 from three, as Miami shot 50 percent for the game (36-of-72). O'Neal tried only eight shots from the floor for the game.
The Heat led 24-22 after one quarter and extended to a 47-36 lead at halftime thanks to a 14-point second quarter by the Hawks. Atlanta, though, responded to open the third, scoring 10 of the first 12 points to draw within three points.
