After Action Report
In New York, the Heat survived the Knicks 126-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
