After Action Report
The Knicks handled the Heat 98-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
