After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Heat 111-104. The breakneck pace played right into Knicks' hands. The Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
