After Action Report
The Knicks outlasted the Heat 118-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Knicks cashed in. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
