At the beginning of the season, Miami Heat fans were endlessly calling for the team to make changes.

Now, there’s a sudden confidence after a four-game winning streak with their victory over the Atlanta Hawks. It’s still early in the season, but it's different to see Heat fans expressing confidence in their team rather than constant criticism.

“No Jimmy, Herro, Caleb and this team still finds a way to win,” user HeatCulture said. “Bam is a superstar, Jaime is Rookie of the Year, Spo is Coach of the Year and JRich is back. Lets make it 5 in a row tomorrow.”

Even in the absence of Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, and Caleb Martin, the Heat were victorious against one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference. Bam Adebayo had a monster double-double with 26 points, 17 rebounds, two blocks and two steals. He continues to build his campaigns for Defensive Player of the Year and the All-Star game.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. had his true breakout performance with 20 points in his third career start. Josh Richardson had his best game since returning to Miami with 16 points on 3 of 4 shooting from 3-point range. Arguably the biggest surprise was Kyle Lowry's second consecutive solid performance. He ended the night with 17 points, continuing to put on in the absence of star guard Herro. It was an all around solid team game from Miami.

And of course, it wouldn't be the Heat social media without petty swipes at their opponent. Miami poked fun at the Hawks' strange "OnlyFans" Instagram video created the previous day.

The Heat play the San Antonio Spurs (3-6) Sunday night.
