After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks ran roughshod over the Heat 110-75. Knicks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Knicks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
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 · 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.
