After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Knicks 104-101. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
