After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks held off the Heat 117-111. Knicks' offense had its way with the Heat. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
