After Action Report
The Heat survived the Knicks 99-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
