After Action Report
The Knicks ran roughshod over the Heat 128-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
