After Action Report

The Knicks handled the Heat 121-102. Knicks' offense had its way with the Heat. The Knicks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Heat couldn't shake the cold spell. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
