After Action Report
In New York, the Knicks downed the Heat 106-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Knicks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Knicks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
