Florida is a prime vacation spot, but the Hawks still had one more game to play.

Maybe they didn't receive the memo.

They were upset that the Miami Heat showed them up by 34 points on New Year's Day, the last time they played. The Hawks remembered their worst loss of the season and the taunts and laughs Heat players sent in their direction. "Nobody likes a showoff," Hawks forward Alan Henderson said before the game.

But you have to respect a winner. Though 17-31, the Heat has three wins against the Hawks. The Heat may have been struggling entering the game, but Eddie Jones helped it win the season series with a 99-79 victory.

The Hawks had won three in a row and five of their previous six games, showing some promise with the All-Star break approaching. They wanted to start the second half with 20 wins; instead they had to swallow their 30th loss of the season.

They got careless against an opportunistic defense, and the Heat turned 20 Hawks turnovers into 24 points. It was the first time in 10 games that the Hawks had 20 turnovers.

The Hawks also had some defensive lapses. After Jason Terry let Mike James zip by him, Theo Ratliff yelled at Terry and shook his head as he headed to the bench.

Miami scored a total of 65 points against San Antonio Saturday, but surpassed that mark with 1 minute, 25 seconds left in the third quarter when Jones completed a three-point play to put the Heat up 68-57.

Jones led the Heat with 26 points, including 5-for-8 from 3-point range. His fifth three put the Heat up 89-69 with five minutes to go.

Shareef Abdur-Rahim, playing his 500th career game, led the Hawks with 19 points and 10 rebounds, but got little help. Glenn Robinson had scored 20 points or more in six consecutive games, but that streak ended as he shot a dismal 5-for-18 from the floor for 12 points. He also gave the ball to the Heat five times.

Early on, the Hawks worked the ball inside to Abdur-Rahim and outside to Robinson as they built a 22-13 lead. Then, they collapsed.

The Heat scored 17 straight points, former Hawk LaPhonso Ellis leading the run with two steals and two 3-pointers. The same two Hawks who helped the team get an early lead contributed to its downfall, with Abdur-Rahim and Robinson combining for seven of the Hawks' 12 first-half turnovers.

Jermaine Jackson hadn't been around for the truly horrific days, but even he got involved, throwing the ball out of bounds while attempting a post entry pass to Abdur-Rahim.
