After Action Report

The Knicks ran roughshod over the Heat 114-86. Knicks torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
