After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Knicks 97-80. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Knicks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
