Trailing by eight with 2:50 left, Miami went on a 9-0 run to take a 99-98 lead on centre Hassan Whiteside's lay-up with 58 seconds left, and never looked back.
Goran Dragic scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for Miami, and Whiteside had 18 points and 12 boards. John Collins led Atlanta with 19 points.
