After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat held off the Knicks 110-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Knicks; the Knicks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
