After Action Report
The Knicks fended off the Heat 103-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
