McGrady and Al Horford each scored 16 points for the Hawks (4-1), who opened the final period on a 15-3 run to take control. And McGrady, a former Piston, made perhaps the two biggest plays of the night in the final minutes, first throwing a lob to Josh Smith for a dunk, then hitting a three-pointer that gave the Hawks a 93-84 lead with 2:26 left.
LeBron James scored 28 points, Chris Bosh scored 19 and Dwyane Wade finished with 12 for Miami (5-1). The Heat led by as many as 10 in the early going and took a four-point lead into the final quarter before getting outscored 33-21.
Now-Hawk Tracy McGrady is on his sixth NBA franchise over 16 seasons. He looked used-up in the preseason, but has been effective off the bench in the regular season for Atlanta.
