After Action Report
The Knicks took care of the Heat 102-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Knicks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
