Olynyk scored 19 points, including 15 on five 3-pointers when Miami took the lead for good in the second period, and the Heat beat the Atlanta Hawks 115-86 on Wednesday night, capping a sweep of back-to-back games between Southeast Division rivals.
By logging his first two minutes in the game, Olynyk earned a $1 million bonus for reaching 1,700 for the season.
