If you are a Miami Heat fan, you are likely smiling Sunday night. The Heat completely dismantled the Atlanta Hawks earlier Sunday, taking a 3-1 lead in their opening round playoff series, 110-86. What made it that much more impressive was that the Heat did that without their starting point guard, Kyle Lowry. Lowry was ruled out with a hamstring injury a couple hours before tip-0ff. Just in case Heat fans weren't in a good enough mood after the big win, this should do the trick.
Denzel Washington had to talk to Kyle Lowry about his flopping 😂

Bleacher Report tweeted out a video of world-famous actor Denzel Washington giving Heat guard Kyle Lowry some crap for his flopping on the court. Of course, Washington could always offer to give Lowry some acting classes if he feels strongly enough about it.
On Sunday night though, Miami did not need any flopping of any kind. They crushed the Hawks and made some franchise history along the way. Miami took a 55-41 lead into the locker room at halftime. Somehow, the Heat did not commit a single turnover in the first half. Keep in mind, they did that without their former All-Star point guard.
In Lowry's absence, Gabe Vincent drew the start at point guard. He played 27 minutes and finished with 11 points. More importantly, Victor Oladipo got back onto the court for the first time since April 3rd. He played 23 minutes and posted a plus/minus of +28, one of the best in the game.
The Heat will look to close out the series back home in Miami on Tuesday night.
