After Action Report

The Knicks buried the Heat 134-92. The Knicks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
