After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Heat 112-102. Every possession went the Knicks way. The Knicks steamroller is in full effect right now; Knicks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Knicks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
